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?


Have you considered taking her to Ashville? Beautiful city. Not quite a touristy as Gatlinburg and a little more upscale. Plus I'll bet she would like to see the Biltmore all decked out for Christmas.


We had mainly thought about Helen GA if not Gatlinburg, but that is a good idea so I'll look into it. She likes that stuff.
