Day 1
Packed up and ready to go. We left Raleigh around 1pm, but had to make a few errand stops before actually getting under way. I-40 to Winston-Salem, then on to 421 to connect to 321, which took us through Boone, NC at around 7pm. Road construction and some type of parent event at Appalachian State University made for a slow pass through Boone. We continued on 321 to 181 into Johnson City TN at around 8:30pm, which was to be our "base camp".

Day 2
Due to a huge car show in Pigeon Forge TN we took 181, to 81, to 40, to 321 to come into Gatlinburg TN the "back way". Very nice route, and was much better than the normal slab route we would have taken. We spent the day shopping, eating, and goofing around.

After spending the day in Gatlinburg, we took a short jaunt through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, then headed back to the hotel, making some sight-seeing stops along the way.

Headed to Linville Caverns for a quick tour, then made a slight detour on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a while before taking basically the same route back home.
