Default Favorite set of twisties

What road contains your favorite set of twisties?

I recently moved from Washington state and there were plenty of well built light traffic roads to weave through the mountains. Where is the best set of curves in the South?

North GA Loop (69 - 180 - 129) = Same thing. You need to come back down. We pulled over for the wreck before and missed all of the fun.
