On The Verandah is an excellent restaurant. We've eaten there on multiple occasions. it will be on your right just before you get to Highlands. Not far from Bridal Veill Falls. Parking can be limited, depending on crowd that day.

Yeah. If you want a cool waterfall picture, there is a much bigger, better one in my opinion right off the Skyway. Plan to hit that with Pizzaguy in route Thursday from GA.

I will arrive with "WildBill" of the GenCoupes Thursday around 6-7pm; there is late-breaking hope that I can take Monday off as well, if so, I'll stay until Monday about 3pm!!!

(Should have the road to myself...)

I think that, this time of year, Gatlinburg is pretty much booked, period!

Sadly, the Thursday forecast (which changes day by day) shows 80% chance of rain, Bill.

But (again, at this time) Friday and Saturday show 0% chance of rain.

A few days ago, it was 40-60% rain all three days...

Is it sad that I looked at the future weather report and was disappointed when I saw there was only a 10 and 20% chance for rain in Fontana next Friday and Saturday?

Certainly a beautiful waterfall. But you can't drive & park under that one! You can at Bridal Veil! Makes for a great picture.
