You're right rje.uc. lots less traffic on friday than saturday. Plus when you are by yourself or two, it sure beats a long line of cars behind or ahead of you, then it goes REALLY slow. Anyway, it should be a fun weekend for all. I'll be in Gatlinburg thursday, and friday; maybe shipping wife off to shop and tooling over to the gap. I plan to leave sat. am for a ride over the mountains to Cherokee and then to the gap. I'll be there at 10:00. I have'nt make plans for staying anywhere yet for saturday night, but there will be plenty of places.
