A quick rockslide/road closure update...we're really not the timeliest source for news, since we only update about once a week. Check out TailoftheDragon.com and DealsGap.com and their respective Facepages for more regular updates. Road is still closed...contract was awarded to the non-local company, which is kind of a bummer. Hopefully the incentives will be enough to get them hurried along. In the mean time your area businesses are doing all they/we can to get the Dragon open for tourism alone. There is a petition started here by the DGRR Mazda Rotary people, which can't hurt.

Meanwhile we are shooting on the surrounding twisty/scenic roads...Cherohala Skyway, Hwy 28, and 129 north of the Dragon, so we should still have you covered.

I sure wish I could get over there and see all you yahoos.
I would in a heart beat, but the last 2 yrs. of work has been very slow, the Contractors around here are hurting. Looks like it wont be untill 2012 untill things get better, the unemployment rate in my County is right at 22%. In the last 4mo. I have made about $600, The wife still has a job, If my house and property wasnt paid for, I would really be in DEEP DO DO. I pay my own Health Ins. which is well over $700 a month and it dont pay sheet.

But, I will get out there some day, that Im makeing a promise to my self. That is my goal.
