Ok so I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to post this, but it seemed applicable. In another post I mentioned my planned trip to the Smoky Mountains of NC/TN, and wanted to post my approximate map route for anyone who is interested in the area. I'll be riding the Blue Ridge Parkway from Meadow of Dan, VA all the way down to Cherokee, NC...which should be about 9 hours of bliss. Along the way is Grandfather Mountain, home of the Mile High Swinging Bridge (shouldn't be too hard to figure out what that is :neener: ) Then I'll be spending some time on the Tail of the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, and the Devils' Triangle......needless to say quite a lot of twisties :rawk: While I'm there I'll be visiting Sweetwater, TN to go see the underground lakes, Fontana Dam, and a few other places to satisfy my tourist needs. Anyone who is familiar with the area have any suggestions on other places to visit? I had to blow a large chunk of cash on a laptop for school, so for the moment the trip is delayed till at least the beginning of April.
