TVA Dam that was the location of Harrison Ford's unlikely jump from the top of a several hundred foot tall dam to escape Tommy Lee Jones' dragnet in "The Fugitive"... and the signatory end (or beginning as the case may be) of the dreadful "Tail of the Dragon" (Hwy 129) upon which one's lunch can easily be lost among the 318 turns along the course of this hideous 11 mile road which convertibles and motorcycles can't seem to get enough of.
