Abstract:
North Carolinians are proud of their highway system which has gotten them out of the mud and onto paved roads. However, there are still a few numbered state highways which are not paved. N.C. 105 is one of them, and it runs almost north and south between Linville Falls and Lake James. Abernethy describes a ride on nineteen miles of it, which includes some of the roughest, steepest driving in the state.
