Murphy North Carolina to Pigeon Forge Tennessee

WOW Thanks for all the replies! I was hoping for maybe one response, lol.

Gotta roll, I'll come back to click all the thanks buttons!

Gonna go east to 40

 

This is the route I took. Not fast, but pretty clearly the way "they" want you to go.

I checked and checked the VA DOT site's chart of restrictions, 441 thru the park is not listed. So I called them, and got a return call (much too late to help, but I asked after they closed) and the nice lady said that it is a federal road so it's not on the chart. I suggested they add it.

 

Yeah I came in on 64 to Murphy, and that was no picnic, but going west would be a lot worse, with those cliff walls on your right a lot.

Thanks for the great answer!

 

Funny thing about that. I just started with a new company, and forgot to grab the atlas!!! Also my GPS went tits up. So Google maps is all I've got cuz I am too cheap and broke to buy either one. LOL

 

Yes they are. But I wasn't totally sure until I saw the sign. Oh me of little faith.

 

You had a large part in making that happen!

 

Holy crap, this Appalachia driving is the real deal!

I'm from the west and until now, had driven quite a bit of NC and VA, but NOTHING like what I just did. I used to snicker at folks who talked about the difficulties here, but no more. These roads take the cake!
