NICE!!!! Go enjoy it! Please don't be one of those people that over plan your vacations and are always rushing. I've heard of people do that and I'm just like "relax". Since I'm more of a broke guy, there are some nice wooded areas a few miles south that would be nice to stay at. |

If you want to see some beautiful country check out the Pisgah National forest in western NC. Not too far from Gatlinburg if I remember correctly. It's where the movie "The Last of the Mohicans" was filmed. |

I've definitely over planned everything, but I don't plan to rush. I've gone over everything I'm bringing a dozen times. Looked up all the potential places I might go and do, and narrowed it down. blue rhino I'm definitely doing the cades cove loop. Going to get out and see all the sights along it, do a few of the light hiking trails. Planning to see go to the aquarium, looks very interesting. Beyond that, going to wing it for the most part. Checking into my cabin thursday, and leaving it monday. Whether I stay any longer than that I'm not sure. I'm already planning my next trip around august or so. Might go camping that time. I thought about doing it this time as well, but didn't want to crowd myself with too much to worry about in the first trip. |

At least you are going to cut it down. There are some people that have a place for you to be at every time. Just remember its a vacation. I'm debating on taking a vacation in may or june to Arkansas. |

I went to Nashville a few years back and some guy from Memphis stole my G10! Just kidding Blue Rhino..... Anyway, my wife has family in the Elkhart, TN/Grandfather Mountain, NC area, and we've been down there the past few years and enjoy it immensely every time. I see more Geos down there than you would believe! And alot of Trackers. |

I like Roaring Fork motor trail better than Cades cove. Lot less traffic. Clingmans dome is fun if you like to walk. Did it twice. OberGatlinburg is worth riding the lift to see. We are going back the first weekend in April. I loved the cabin we had in october of '11. |

Just got back. Loads of fun, drive was brutal. Cruising through town I topped 52mpg. 35mph at 1300 rpm. Most of the trip I did 80mph at 2500 rpm getting about 35mpg.
