Our good friends Ron and Nancy from Tail of the Dragon (who we profiled on our site last year as well) are embarking on a new project, promoting a 103-mile stretch of Highway 28 that runs between Deals Gap, North Carolina and Walhalla, SC. They’re calling this road the Moonshiner, and are giving the road the full “Tail of the Dragon” treatment, offering visitors maps, lodging information, commemorative collectables, and more.
Here’s a description, from their website:
Once one of the major runs for moonshiners with revenuers hot on their bumper, the road today boasts some great twisties, wide sweepers and unsurpassed scenery. Mountain vistas, waterfalls and secluded lakes appear around nearly every corner. You can find good food, accommodations of every type and unique shops with unusual antiques and crafts created by mountain artisans.
Here is the design for the very first Moonshiner 28 shirt, designed in-house at Image 420.
