When I stopped for gas some people came up and said "OH MY GOD! IT'S BIG!" they were used to seeing little vans with dirt bikes on the back, but I was driving a stepvan with a Honda 750 on the back!
Many many times have been there. Four of us ( family members) just put in an offer to buy property in Eastern Tennessee for a too-hot-summer-escape-hurricanes place. My daughter already has one over in NC and this place in Tennessee is not too far from her. It's a beautiful and mountainous area.....love the Smokies.
