Up to the Ridges - By Akumu

Bit of a lazy ride, for eastern TN, this one. Certainly enough to keep people entertained, but not that madness that people come to expect out of a eastern TN road. I guess that's because it's a main highway, and in that regard it's pretty twisty for a main slab. The part where you run along side Watauga Lake is very nice, and it slowly peters out as you go east, but not so much that it really ever becomes boring until you get east of Vilas. Great road for going east/west if you need to make up time, but still enjoy yourself, or just to look at scenery and a lake.
