Steve,
While you are in the Smokies,(if you haven't already) take a day trip over to Tellico Plains and take the "Cherohala Skyway". When you get to the east end, turn left on highway 129 and travel the "Tail of the Dragon". Then take the "Foothills Parkway" back to Pigeon Forge. Be sure to carry the ice chest and a bag of sandwiches, not many watering holes through this area. It's very senic but twisty through the Dragon.

Palebluedot, last Friday we did Cherohala Skyway while meandering our way to visit with Mr./Mrs. Wordsmith at Unicoi State Park. Then yesterday, after meandering up to Fontana Dam, we went over and did The Tail of the Dragon, then west and north back up to 321. What beautiful drives! Thanks for the tip on the Dragon. I was not aware of it previously. We (Vicki) got some pictures of the Dragon Works and lots and lots on both drives. Wow, beautiful country this is. Far beyond anything I knew existed in this part of the country.
