Crossing Roan Mountain in a Model A
Saturday several members of the Country Roads MARC Club drove about 120 miles from NC across Roan Mountain to TN to attend the Roan Mountain Rhododendron Festival. Picture is from near the top of Roan Mountain and the TN-NC State Line. Mostly stock Model A's do just fine on steep mountain roads.

Marc, me living about 15 miles away from the Roan, I can tell you that you missed mentioning one gear!
