I have stopped there several times going to Cades Cove.
So sad!
OMG… so so sorry. Hope all are okay! 🙏🙏🙏
Sorry to hear
Oh no. That awful!
Hate to see but won't be looking to stop on our way in.
Been there done that. We were staying in Townsend. Left to go over the mountain on the way home. Wanted to go by the Ocoee river on the way home. We drove and drove. Next thing I see is the gas station on the tail of the dragon. We ended back up in Blount County just a few miles from Townsend. My family never let me live that down.
We’ve done it so many times…always a challenge.
And it’s only minutes away from Big Meadow … and did I mention it’s a beautiful ride getting there ??
We did the Dragon the last time we stayed with you and it was lovely.
This drive is fun
That’s a fun ride!
That’s a fun ride
