Wow...some great pics.

Just came back from there. The damage ins't as bad as you'd think. I didn't even notice until I got the bottom as I ususally I stop at the overlook and head back. PoPo are en force. I got a "Warning" during one of my runs through there.

I got a "Warning" during one of my runs through there. Can you elaborate? How many cops, in patrol cars? Bikes? ANy other events?

We were up there for Warriorfest 3 and the Busa meet. I got yanked by Blount county Sherrifs dept. TN state patrol vehicles are also up there or down the at bottom. I saw a white unmarked Ford Explorer, a few Crown vics and a marked Expedition while I was there. There was also a patrol car at the CROT one day. Everyone is pretty good about warning what's behind but there were at least several occasions where I was warned twice while on the Dragon.
