That's actually part of the dam. You can drive right up to it, but not on the dam itself. There were a couple of guys fishing right over the drop-off behind her. Hiway 129 has several boat ramps and parking areas on it before you get to Deals Gap though, if that's what you are wondering.

 

I'm glad the van worked out for you and the pics look great.

 

Sweet pics!! Ahh the memories I was just up there in May and it's AWSOME up there!!! Sooo many neat roads you can explore for days and days on end without ever getting bored. Sure didn't want to come home to boring flat SoFla after that. Where did you guys stay at, the Deals Gap resort or at Fontana Village or someplace else?

Glad to hear you had a great time and a safe trip!

 

We've stayed in the area several times now and we always stay at the same hotel in Alcoa, about half way in between Knoxville and The Dragon. There are plenty of good restaurants there, as well as other amenities. We had hotel points from our various stays and the 3 nights ended up being totally free! lol Makes the mini vacatoin that much sweeter!

 

[X(][&o]Hi old fat guy,

Hey Hobbs. I wish I had known you were that close by. I'll PM ya next time I plan a trip there. I have so much more vacation time than the wife does, it'd be cool to meet up with some other folks there and go riding.
