Parsons Branch to 129 via 4x4 (pics and Vid)

[dReWpY]

i took the afternoon to sit in traffic and tourists to finally ride parsons branch, if u have never been on cades cove loop the scenery is amazing but the road is full of ppl that should just be taken out of the gene pool, imagine 1-2 mph for 11 miles.. enough to shoot yourself, but when i finally got to exit the road and hit the branch, it was well worth the wait.



after driving for about 2 miles i got behind this big suv that was going at a pretty good clip and we finished the rest of the road in short order, the video doesnt really give a feel for how tight it is. since its 8 miles long it just seemed to keep going, some of the water crossings were enough to get the front end of the jeep off the ground, i didnt try to video that, seemed dumb enough to drive those speeds with one hand on the wheel so i wasnt going to push my luck any farther

after that i headed down to the store and saw some locals, chatted with then and then left for the overlook, NOT ONE CAR!!!! i made it from the store to the over look in 16 mins, i will never attempt that again, was a blast though
