Plenty of great roads in N. GA without having to go to the tail.
The Tails is good but like said, for empty weekdays. Not wknds.

I go up to Suches every chance I get. 60 / 180 / 129 / 19 / Richard Russel Scenic Hwy., and many others.

the best time for the tail was a couple years ago when the landslide had it closed to 2 way traffic and was only open 8am-8pm and you could only go up and back.

Doesn't going up and back create 2 way traffic?

Only the cars that survive the up become 2 way traffic on the back

there were no lookie loos and local yahoos. Everyone on the dragon was there for a purpose. Plus, they only had 2 cops on duty that season, and once you knew where they were, you were golden.
