Smokey Mtns road trip...Pics
Wife and I just got back from Gatlinburg, Tn. The trip was 500 miles each way and the Vette was extremely comfortable and performed well. I wanted to do the Dragon while there but it rained just enough each day to keep me from going. The last day was nice but that's the day we went up to Newfound Gap and Clingsman Dome (highest point in Tenn.) Here's a few pics:

Thanks for the pics. I did a very similar trip about two months ago on my motorcycle.

Sweet ride! I've been wondering about wheel options for my own MS. Yours looks awesome.

Me too! In fact we did the Skyline, Blue Ridge and the Natchez Trace in 70 degree weather! Great pictures that I recognize after my trip.
