If they are getting it from tailofthdragon.com, don't ever listen to that douchebag.

No we have plenty of those, our road crews do things right, and when you do things right it takes a really long fucking time instead of when you take shortcuts and fuck things up.

Look at how nice the pavement is on the gap. Most of our state roads are in that good of a condition.

No rally for me this year. Too far.

Ya that's where they're getting it from. Doesn't matter to me. Plenty of other great roads down there and I plan on doing a lot more exploring this year.

Hey Trip...know of a good "waterfall" route? I want to see some waterfalls!

Awesome thanks! Last year I got railroaded into just following the group because I really didn't know where to go or what to do.

This year I plan on doing BlueRidge for a day and a day of waterfall sight seeing.

I got a really dumb question.

What really is the difference between blasting and a natural rock slide? Rocks can still get in the water.

Shock waves from blasting travel through bedrock.
