stngfever Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Tail of the Dragon isn't on the route for this years trek. This years route starts off in Boone, NC taking Blue Ridge Parkway NE to Roanoke, VA then other twisty roads to Ft. Chiswell, VA. Second day will find us traversing portions of the Claw of the Dragon that includes "Back of The Dragon" eleven.....try thirty-two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumors Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Those types of places are always interesting. Thanks for the post. With as many miles as we put in each day I am sure there would not be enough time to fully enjoy the museum, but I am always open to new adventures.

Rumors Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Have a question for you guys. I was going to call my insurance company to take the car out of storage next week. Even though my record is squeaky clean the rates on these cars is unbelievable. I have Auto Owners. I have 5 cars and a UTV Ranger and I don't even get a multi car discount. Jim you have two cars and Don you do also. What insurance companies do you two use and what kind of rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07 NAJA Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Check with State Farm and then with Liberty Mutual. Lib Mut. saved us $500 over what St Farm was charging us and I remember an Allstate agent saying that he couldn't get anywhere near the St Farm rate. Geicos quote was double the St Farm rate.
