Kem,
Happy to learn you enjoyed your trip. I'm exhausted just reading about it.
Talk about some speed tourism!
My wife and I have scheduled a trip for the third week in May which goes into
the "Smokey" at a much more leisurely pace. All distances are approximate and
rounded off to the nearest 10 miles.
Atlanta to Gatlinburg, 220 mi. (I know short cuts and how to avoid Pidgeon
Forge.)
In Gatlinburg for 3 days, with side trips and running around of maybe 200 mi.
Gatlinburg to Asheville, over the mountains and up the Blue Ridge Parkway: 180
mi.
In Asheville for three days, with side trips and running around of maybe 200 mi.
Back to Atlanta, 230 mi.
This 9-day VACATION is going cover maybe a little over 1000 miles, almost
certainly less than 1200. Just thinking about 2400 miles in 4 1/2 days causes
me to want to take a nap. Come back when you have more time. And try to make
it to Charleston next time. You won't regret it.
