Ok, here is what we did...
Day 1. We left Atlanta and entered the picture at the bottom left on the pink line. We hung a right at Ocoee and went to Telco Plains. Hung another right and rode the Cherohala Sky to Robbinsville. Turned left on 129 and rode the Dragon's Tail to Maryville and called it a day. (us on the Tail)
Day 2. Went Northwest to Oliver Springs and rode the Devil's Triangle. After getting back to Oliver Springs we rode NE on Hwy 25 over to Hot Springs and stayed there for the night.
Day 3. Went South out of Hot Springs on hwy 209 to Luck. (This is a GREAT road but you REALLY have to watch out for gravel in the corners!!!) Stopped at this little store in Luck for Non Ethanol gas.
Left There on hwy. 63 to the Blue Ridge Pky. rode that to Cherokee then Hwy 19 over to Murphy for the night.
Day 4. Left Murphy East on Hwy 64 Through Highlands and stopped and checked out the water fall.
If you have never seen this its worth checking out. It's the biggest falls in the Smoky's. (look hard and you can see the walkway that goes behind them.) Continued on to Brevard and hung a left to Waynesville and got a cabin in Candler between Waynesville and Asheville.
Day 5. Headed West through Maggie Valley, Cherokee and 441 to Gatlinburg (took the bypass actually)
Through Pigeon Forge, Maryville 411 to Vorone Then Telco Plains and the Cherohala again to Robbinsville for the night.
Day 6. This was the last day. Left Robbinsville south on 129 through Murphy, Hwy 64 to Ducktown. This is where Curt turned south to Atlanta and I continued on to Memphis.
Overall, We couldn't have asked for a better trip. Weather was perfect, no rain, and never got too hot. Traffic on the Blue Ridge was awful and a little congested on the Skyway the 1st time over, the 2nd time over the Skyway was late in the after noon and hardly anyone was on it. I rode a total of 1820 miles and rode more than 1000 of those in the mountains.
Enjoy!
