Not that bad and its really only for a stretch in Pigeon Forge. The alternate route via I-40 is an extra 40 miles. the word on the my350z is that 441 is pretty fun drive.

It seems like most people are preferring to take 441 through Pigeon forge so I'm going to propose that we go ahead and plan on this route. Any objections?

If I don't put my name on the ZDayZ list by two days before caravan deaprts for Dragon then that means I had to opt for the later trip on Route 66. I'd prefer the Dragon but I just might not have a choice. :driving:

I've driven parts of 66 in NM. Not as nice as NC, but I enjoy the fact that I can see the horizon or at least miles of territory and let my imagination run wild about what's out there.

I am. I might need to get new rechargeable batteries, though. One of the radios doesn't hold the charge for long.

pulpz 05-09-2010 07:59 AM

Yeah, two-ways make it easier to communicate on the road than cell phones.
