Route 181 - Joanas Ridge to Morganton - By Redlinez

This is one of the best motorcycle or car roads I've ever ridden! Very smooth pavement with a few passing areas. You can truly see through most all the turns and maintain a very "entertaining" pace. I don't remember any stores being open along the route any longer. Great overlook about halfway up or so too. The great riding continues around Linville, Newland, etc.
