DORIS & DENNIS' SMOKY MTN. TRIP/OVERVIEW


We left from Williamsburg on Sunday morning, March 26, 2017 and headed east on I-80 and connected with I-74 for the journey through Illinois and  down to Indianapolis, Indiana. From there we caught Indiana state highway 37 to scenic Brown County just east of Bloomington, Indiana. 

        From there it was once again catching I-65, through Loiusville, Kentucky, down to Glasgow, Kentucky and continuing east on the Cumberland Parkway and then over to the Cumberland Pass area. From there we made it down and the over to Tennessee state #70  and catching state # 321 to Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

       From Gatlinburg, we cut straight through the Smoky Mountains south into North Carolina and headed to Ashville, North Carolina and the Biltmore(Vanderbilt) Mansion. From Ashville the Blue Ridge Parkway was traveled  for a distance and exited around Burnsville, North Carolina. Then over and up to  Interstate 26 and then catching I-81 north through Virginia.

       Headed back home, I-77 was caught and up through West Virginia and the West Virginia Parkway. We connected with I-70 in Ohio and then it was west bound through Columbus, Ohio and on to Inianapolis, Indiana. Making a full circle to Indianapolis, it was up to my sister Deborah's home near Crown Point, Indiana for a two day visit. Doris and Dennis were headed back to Iowa on Saturday, April, 1, 2017. A very enjoyable and scenic 2,500 mile journey.
