[Rhodes22-list] Over the Mountain

[Wally Buck]

Ed,

I haven't been on 181 in a year or so but it sounds like the extended it all 
the way to 26. I haven't been on this extension but I can see why you prefer 
81 over 95, much nicer drive.

Have you been on the new Cherohala Skyway that crosses over to Robbinsville 
from Tellico. It is quite scenic and has little traffic. We do a bunch of 
camping in that area.

Wally
