Yep, three times... each direction. First time for me in the IX.

 

I know someone who's jeaous...and i'm pretty sure it's me!

 

It was absolutely great. Sunny weekday with very very light traffic. The only things that kept the drive from being perfect were the cops (yes, they will give you ticket as there have been more than a few deaths in the past couple of years), trucks (they are known for taking both lanes in the tightest corners) and I don't have the road memorized (working on that).

The Dragon is definitely a destination road and worth the road trip, if you're ever in the Southeast.
