me and 4 other guys are going down there april 1st - 4th it will be my third trip there. like earache said go threw once and spot it out for cops, then youll be good to go. you might check out http://ironhorsenc.com for lodging as well.. i have stayed there the last to 2 times and love it. youl not get to see everything down there, so plan on going back several times lol. and earaches info on routes there is great. check out the parkways there, and all the surrounding road of the gap, less traffic and jsut as much fun make sure yo check the dams out as well.
