Visiting Smoky Mountains post wildfires ?

[Gryff]

Irishrover that's what our friends are saying the world wide news coverage was all,about the fires and since then Nada Ziltch hat folks forget the smokey mountains are an all year round
Destination we've had as much fun in the winter (but I'm never going on a bob sleigh again ) as the summer odd to experience a warm sunny Florida and then a short hop,in a plane
Be on skis that afternoon

Funny enough I didn't do the bobsleds but we did do the smokeys roller coaster down in pigeon forge... funniest thing ever... I ground to a halt and was stuck in the dark for about 15 mins lol

Bren, lovely to hear from you !
Well, we booked the flights so definitely going. Will deffo be in Nashville on a Saturday night for the Opry, not sure if we will have one or two other nights there as well. Hinges on whether Chattanooga gets the chop or not for the trip.
