We run the BRPkway and Rt 441 through GSMNP regularly,
but on any summer/fall weekend, it is a parking lot
in terms of casual driving,imo.

Edit: if the map link came through ok, I live at #1 and the Park

Might be a good spot for a fallish meet, though...if we can survive
the hordes of RVs, campers and leaf peepers.
