A friend was willing to put me up in jacksonville and drive me too and from, and before my credit card company threatened court action for me making lower payments (despite me agreeing it with them), I was looking at flights, as a friend works for virgin Atlantic, and was willing to let me have her discount, which would have been return flights for £200. In return I'd be doing her garden for 6 months. Edited September 19, 2016 by netphlix_n_chill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Woot. Advice; If ya start hearin banjo music pucker up. Be ready for huge amounts of people, over 1 million visitors visit the Smokies in the month of Oct. because it's "leaf season". If your local you don't go there. Slim cell service and often times you'll get the "all circuits busy" message. I'm an outdoor enthusiast so if anyone needs to know some good site seeing routes/hikes PM me and I can give you some suggestions. If you mountain bike we have over 40 miles of single track 4 miles from DT Knoxville and a commercial track in Gatlinburg, pay and rents bikes. Secret Local Stuff... 1. Driving here? Don't follow I-40 to exit 407 like all the other tourists. Take 441 in DT Knoxville to bypass a shit-ton of traffic. If you are brave and no one in the car gets motion sick try; 441→ White School Rd→ Goose Gap→ Waldons Creek→Hwy 321→ Parkway to Gatlinburg. It's REAL curvy. All you Northerners laugh at us cancelling schools when they talk about snow but this IS a school bus route. Seymour Grill on the way through Seymour for local Mom & Pop home cookin. No alcohol though. :-( 2. Driving between PF and Gatlinburg will take between 30-60 min depending of time of day regardless of what yer app says. 3. If there is a bear within site of the road ALL traffic comes to a STOP! NO JOKE! You have to pee? Go lookin for a bush. I usually lay on the horn for a min or so and the bear runs away. Great way to meet new friends. lol 4. The drive from Sugarland Visitor Center to the "Quiet Side", Townsend, is a great way to get a feel for the mountains with minimal walking. There is an old settlement to explore , waterfalls that are roadside and many great swimming holes if not afraid of some shrinkage. If the water is high enough it's my favorite river to kayak so you may get to watch some kayaking over the waterfalls. :-) 5. If you take the "daring route" remember how you did it because leaving is worse traffic than arriving. I'm going to make it a point to visit Gatlinburg that weekend to see if the IQ actually drops. That bar isn't set very high in this part of the country. :-) Mule, spinpuppy, Ruggerxi and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
