Just thought about this.....

We will be going right by the Hilton on our way to Gatlinburg....

No reason to line up another drive to meet us anywhere!

We may want to stop at the Hotel and check in while we are going by it..... so we don't have to do that after we get back from dinner..... we'll figure that out as we get closer to the date.

Best I can do is....



Normally it would take 1:21 hours, 44 miles to go from the Hilton to the Park Grill (slightly less if we exceed the speed limit!)

This route would be 2:13 hours, 83 miles.

Would get to do the Foothills, RT 129 over to Rt 336.....

You can do better than that. Keep working.

Hell, Denny and Sharon are getting there via Mt. Rushmore!

Yea, I figured as much. We can decide as we go along. Hell, we don't want to do too much planning, ruins the spontaneity and confusion.

Nah. Go to Maryville and take 411 to Seiverville and then go south to the split and take Rt 321.
