We drive along Lake Cheoh to the southern starting point of the Tail of the Dragon (RP3). We leave early and the first point where we stop is the Fontana dam (RP2), a hydroelectric dam in the Little Tennessee River and the largest dam in the eastern United States, and at the time of construction it was the fourth largest dam in the world.
