I don't mean to sound insensitive here so I don't want to come across that way. But, I'm having a hard time finding out any answers as far as upcoming trips there. We were supposed to go Dec 17 - 20 and stay in the Gatlinburg Inn. Obviously they are saying that downtown is intact, but I'm doubtful they will have everything up and running by then. It's part of a graduation present for my woman, so I had hoped to get a feel for the situation as far as tourism goes so I can make alternate plans.

Has anyone heard anything from anyone who is planning on taking the trip up there in the next couple weeks?


I hope we have once again reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There�s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts. � Ronald Reagan
