The Dragon itself (at a normal speed)
North end of Dragon - Rt 129/72 intersection
Rt 129/72 intersection - Vonore

THANKS!
According to Mapquest, going from Tapoco to Robbinsville to Tellico Plains takes 2 hr. 11 min. Going from Tapoco to Vonore to Tellico Plains takes 1 hr. 44 min. But since we are driving on back roads, I question the accuracy of the Mapquest directions.

The best estimation I can get you for driving the Dragon is from Tapoco to Calderwood. Mapquest says it takes 21 min. I'll try to see how fast it is in Cookstar time before the meet.

(Sorry, the links to the three maps posted died.)

Of course, we will probably drive them a little faster as long as nobody is in our way.
