Route description

SR 339 begins at an intersection with SR 66 just north of SR 66's crossing of Brasstown Creek. This intersection is approximately 4,000 feet (1,200 m) south of the North Carolina state line. SR 339 travels in an east-northeast direction until it meets its eastern terminus, an intersection with SR 17/SR 515 approximately 1,000 feet (300 m) south of the state line. The appropriately named Crooked Creek Road includes a number of sharp curves and turns along its length.[1]

gollark: This would be bad for technology, slow and/or wildly unethical, and not very helpful except under negative utilitarianism.

gollark: Subsistence farming is actually boring and unpleasant though. It is good that we stopped doing it. Although "monke" would be hunter-gathering, strictly. Which is no longer possible at scale due to loss of habitats and population growth.

gollark: That would be silly. I just do things at the correct time.

gollark: Because of rampant nonconsecutive version numbers in phones, 2060 through 2078 actually happen after 2093.

gollark: Maybe for you and your "linear time".
