Getting To The Gap

Lamnidae · 05-04-2008, 04:14 PM

hokayz.

What routes do y'all typically take to get to The Gap?

I'm looking at slabbing it to Cleveland TN, then shooting over on 74. Anyone know that road? What's the quality/speedlimit/suggested speed? 2 or 4 lanes?

So far it looks to be ~220ish miles from my place to Robbinsville, NC. I'm thinking I should be able to make that in 3 1/2 hours depending on that TN HWY 74.... that's the only thing I don't know about.

I need to figure out how the hell I am going to make it to indy. I certainly don't want to take interstate all of the way there.

If you want I can get you from huntsville to robbinsville/deals gap without touching the interstate with some good roads on the way.

I'm looking for faster time to Deals Gap, so I figure what's gonna happen (New Market BTW, just outside of Huntsville) I'll head up thru Winchester TN, hit 24 to 75 to Cleveland and then over 74 and up 129.

for the quickest route, I would head up 72 to south pittsburgh, get on 24 ride that to 75 north, get off at exit 62 and take a right onto 322, from 322 you want to take a right onto 72, take a left onto 411 and then take a right onto 72, one more right onto 129 and follow that right to deals gap.

just remember this, when the lake goes away, slow down and be ready for a ride.
