Wife works 'bout a mile from there! Very thankful that we were camping in Nc. when we heard. Said on radio today that one of the creeks had alot of dead fish & "water treatment" was underway, whatever that means.

After 30 years in Water Treatment, I'd guess they're adding large amounts of activated carbon to the creek. |

You might be stuck in worse traffic than Atlanta, but GREAT riding is in every direction after you break free... -Mike |

Yeah, Mike's right, especially headed N. outta Sevierville on 66 toward I 40 (construction) or S. into Pigeon Forge (lots a redlights)!
Newport Hwy headed E. to Jones Cove Road on right will take you to the Eastern part of Foothills Parkway, it's pretty but short. You oughtta run the Gorge on I 40 but there's construction on it too, one lane each way near the Nc. line. There's also construction at the Douglas Lake bridge on I 40 between Newport & the I 40/I 81 split at Dandridge, sometimes this is backed up 5 miles or more in each direction (use 25/70 to avoid this). Hwy 92 between Dandridge & 411 at Bush Bean Plant is awesome but kinda short too. We always avoid Gatlinburg (use the bypass) but River Rd from Sugarlands Visitor Center back toward Townsend & the Western part of Foothills Parkway are a "must ride" & that section of the Parkway will put you on The Dragon! 441 over the mountain is also awesome & if you're goin' up there I highly recommend Clingmans Dome! You don't even hafta hike up to the dome (1/4 mi. straight up) the view from the parking lot is stunning!
Have fun & holla if ya get lost, (gives me an excuse to come find ya, haha) (865) 973-6179.
