Knoxville, TN Overnight & Great Smoky Mountains National Park

I think I mentioned that some overnights are better than others. And with about 19 hours in Knoxville, I did what any adventure-seeking soul would do… I rented a car and hot the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which was just 30 minutes away. Before I committed to any time Read more…
