Here is a
petition to sign so we can save the Tail of the Dragon and the surrounding areas. Spread the word and let us know if you signed.
----------------------------------
I just copied this directly from
here.
I've never been to the Gap or the dragon yet but someday, I'd like to. And I'd like it not to be a straight-shot highway when that day comes. I'm sure ya'll feel the same way.

What are they planning on doing to it?

Making it into a straight highway I believe.

Isn't The Dragon a path cut through the mountains? How do you turn that into a straightaway without investing MILLIONS in blasting a new route through?

This sounds like one of those silly rumours. Does anyone have any more details on this?
Its not April 1st is it?

Dunno sev. Haven't been there. I wouldn't think so though.
From the map they provided on the site I got it from it looks like it just goes through forests. And all the videos I've seen of it seem to confirm that.

Then I guess the OP doesn't know what they're talking about. Just passing the word on. figured they knew better than I did.

Doubt it is. Those PetitionOnline things are legitimate and even work sometimes.
I've signed dozens of them and haven't gotten any spam.
