look anything like this??? My buddy picked this place out, I anout crapped when I saw we had to go up this driveway. Bikes were all loaded, packs, wifes, etc, etc.

Turned out not to be to much of a problem, it was even lightly raining when we went up the first time....

Where were those pics taken? That looks VERY similar to the place we stayed at!

After looking at those pics, I can see where a trailer might be a little bit of a pain but it is doable!

Sounds like youll be sorry if you intend to try to drag a bike trailer up it in a small front wheel drive luxury SUV, otherwise you might love it!

I agree that driveway looks like a cakewalk for a real 4x4.

Some of those roads in the smokies where the cabins are located are a challenge. I suppose they are used to it but anyone planing on going there should ask the questions pertinent to their own skill level and the vehicle that they are intending to navigate such roads.

can't remember exactley, the web is saved on my 'puter at work. I'll also post a few more pics tomorrow. These ones don't do it justice. But it was near/around Bryson cty.

Needless to say, after the days ride, we did do the beer/grocery run before we went back up.

It had stopped raining abt 15 minutes before we got there also. Damn thing was so steep the water just ran off the damn thing
