Newport / I-40 / Smoky Mountains KOA
240 KOA Lane
Newport, TN 37821
Heading there for a Sat night tenting trip... if anyone is in the area and wants to swing by, or knows the area well enough to give us some places to check out.
First tent trip of the season!
I'm not sure how familiar you are with tn. Should go down the road a little bit to pigeon forge/gatlinburge
Great places.
Awesome place to ride... go down 40 towards NC, last exit in TN get OFF!!!
Should put you on Rt 32 and it is awesome sauce between I-40 and Cosby, TN
Nearby I'd hit 441 through the mountains and check out Clingmans Dome.
That's about 1.5hrs from the Tail of the Dragon US129 (just south of Marysville, which is South of Knoxville).
I think the Cherohala Skyway is closed, but that would take you out kinda far.
Rt 28 between Bryson City NC and Franklin, NC is very technical road.
Hell that whole area rocks, just go explore no way is really bad right there.

BRP I assume he will take to that area from his house. I meant what is locally called "the Skyway", it has some american indian name in front of it, like cherhola or something. Anyway if you exit Deals gap resort/Tail of the dragon goin south you can get to the skyway. Think it's rte 143.Blue ridge Pkwy? I think that's the one your talking about. I just call it.... "the gap".
That is a very awesome scenic road. Never been on a motorcycle though. I have got to get up there!
That stinks, that road is awesome. Lot's of closed routes this yr, 441 was closed when I was out there last and re-opened 2 days later :wtfgun:it is closed, in fact when we ran the dragon we preceded to ride to North Carolina to visit some Casino & there were signs saying that 28 would be closed starting the next day. Glad we got to ride that route.
Will work on that video soon...
still undecided... prob haul there set up the tents, then check out the area, come back... chill, then head back next day home to our families for fathers day... just don't know yet... these trips are meant to be unplanned... except for the base camp area, we just ride... meant to be relaxing and get away from day-day work

most the other people I ride with would rather trailer their bikes there and stay in a hotel...
Just buy a bunch of extra Wasabi batteries!
