Here is one of the wacky roads we traveled on as we traveled to Gatlinburg. This is the Scenic Skyway in North Carolina as viewed from Google Earth (not my camera!). This is just a small sample of what I had to deal with. The straight line distance in this photo from left to right is about a mile and a half. However, the total distance driven is about 4 miles! And every turn is either up hill or down hill. The map shows this as a relatively straight line. Multiply this by a factor of 20 for the total trip in Tennessee and NC. Yeah, it took a while. Never totally believe what you see on a map!
