Hello! After visiting the Outer Banks last week, we're back to the US South but this time we're in the mountains! It seems that most locations in this map are in towns or close to towns, so it shouldn't feel too wild.
Beware: the map features locations in Tennessee only, and it has a fairly broad scope- it includes the mountains north of Knoxville too, even though they aren't part of the Great Smokys.
No photospheres- good luck!
Congrats to giorgeauws_ for winning yesterday's Rome game in 23346! Being the first game of the week, of course they are the new leader in the weekly rankings, too! The result allows them to climb to second place in the monthly rankings too, where solarsensei retains the lead.

My sister in law is doing a destination wedding in June in the Pigeon Forge area. Not sure why June in such a beautiful fall/winter location. We were told 10 months in advance so I am trying to figure out what we will do with not a whole lot of time to save. We already had 2 trips planned next year, so adding a third adds a little financial stress. My wife 100% wants to go.
I am coming here for suggestions on where to stay.
It will be June 9 -12. Cabins for 4 nights are looking at upwards to $1000 after taxes, fees, etc and we don't have anyone to split it with. I am not wanting to spend that much if possible. We are traveling 2 adults and 2 small children.
So my mother is planning a family trip for Tennesee in the summer and I was okay with going. The problem is that she wants to go fourth of July weekend but I do not want to because it will be packed in the summer but much worse on the 4th and that idea just gives me big anxiety. I want to go at another date but my mother has her eyes set on that particular date and told me it will be fine. What are some good times to travel in the summer before the July 4th?
