We're very small, maybe not in size. McGhee Tyson airport in Knoxville is by far the closest to us. And really it's not that far from there to Union County. Straight up Alcoa highway onto the interstate and up broadway, and you're here. As far as the other places you are going, stay on the same highway and you'll get to each one. It seems to me that United had an ad on TV the other day about great rates between Atlanta and Knoxville, check with them. Suggestions: Stop at the Historical Society in Maynardville. Stop at Smokey Mountain Market (north of Maynardville) and get a hotdog (best in this part of the country). Then north of there stop at Cumberland Gap. There is a little town there that is like Mayberry. Really a nice place to stop and look around. The community is called Iron Furnace. Then you're off through our huge tunnel into KY. Once in Middlesboro stop and get a lottery ticket. I know you have a lottery in GA, but these people take it very serious. I think it's considered a retirement plan in KY. Then the next wide place in the road north of Middlesboro, is a unique town. It has a mountain with a huge boulder chained to the side of it. Odd I know but it's true. Have a great trip, Chip
