North Carolina
June 2015
We’re on our way to climb to the highest point in North Carolina, Mount Mitchell. Driving northwest from Charlotte, our roads get progressively narrower and curvier until we funnel into North Carolina State Route 80, where the road gets even narrower and curvier than before. SR-80 is called the Devils Whip, and it has its own website and Facebook page. The road has a Facebook page?
This thoroughfare has been described as…
12 miles of pure adrenaline and challenge! It separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls! Truly – posers beware!!!
…and includes…
…the LONGEST 3 miles in these parts. You climb 1,205 feet and take 50+ turns in this 3 MILE section alone!
Motorcycle riders are particularly attracted to this road. Even my hair would be flying on The Devils Whip.
