We are vacationing in Gatlinburg, TN. We have a cabin way up on a mountain and get amazing RF range with our Baofeng UV5Rs. Watched the patriot last night, great movie!
I googled images and it looks like a beautiful area. Are you just hanging out or do you have plans to fish, hike or amusement park? Have fun
We took the kids so we rode a lot of go-carts, bumper cars, etc. The have a great gun store there called smokey mountain gun and knife or something like that, I could have spend hours in there. They had a few .50 cal semi auto rifles that were pretty neat, I think I need one.
Smokey mountain knife works is over in Sevierville not to far from there also Cherokee nc Indian reservation not far it's a cool place to visit.
Since you're in the neighborhood you should ride through Cades Cove.... I want to live there. Cades Cove - Great Smoky Mountains National Park (U.S. National Park Service)
