I have use the road from Hiawassee to Helen several times in both directions pulling our 28 ft. trailer. Also have seen larger rigs using the same road with no problems. Part of the road has some steep grades, up and down. There are passing lanes in some areas. There are a few sharp turns, but if you watch and follow the speed limits and watch the shoulders you should be ok.

Live 11 miles away
I am about to be a FR owner. Sierra PDEK 360. Is there any way I can attend the event without camping? Would be interested to see and meet others. Also being a newbie to a 5er and just having it since 4/8 it might be nice to talk to FR folks.

You can keep trying to convince me there are no snakes in that river but I still don't believe you.

We used to go to an authentic German restaurant in Manchester, TN when we visited DD in Tullahoma. The owners said that was where their car broke down and they started the restaurant. It has since closed, apparently they got their car running again. It was there for about 5 years and had very good reviews, to bad it is gone now.

Not sure what that thing is, guess it could be an American redesign of another dish. Was having an issue with cold potato salad, which was basically pickled raw potato and onion slices in vinegar with a dash of sugar! Was not that bad, would have preferred cucumbers. Second time to eat there, popular with football folks as across the street from Titans stadium.
