Deals Gap is a popular and internationally famous destination for driving enthusiasts(of motorcycles and sports cars), as it is located along a stretch of two-lane road known as "The Dragon" or the "Tail of the Dragon". The 11-mile stretch of the Dragon in Tennessee is said to have 318 curves.... The road earned its name from its curves being said to resemble a dragon's tail. The stretch bears the street name "Tapoco Road" in North Carolina and "Calderwood Highway" in Tennessee and is signed entirely by U.S. 129. State Route 115 is included on maps, and is the name used by Tennessee Department of Transportation for highway contracts.

While creating the theme music for this trail - I've used guitar, beats, echoes, delays, ambient effects to reflect the beauty of the trail in rains, depth of the valleys, adventure of driving on the tracks, the stormy wind at times, and joy of driving. A dash of police radio crackling has been added at some places in the music going by the hollywood style showing a cop going after speeding bikers :-)
Pictures used in the video are not from Deals Gap as I'd to search for free to download and use pictures so had to make the most of what was available ...
Please check out a beautiful mix of music and "on-site" video by Jim Harmon at:
