Thanks Nye...I'm trying to re-arrange my weekend so this helps!! Does anyone have any updates on Big Creek?? That's an easy area for me to get to and one of my favorites.

Thanks Nye.

I'm planning to do big creek and camp there but may focus on the parkway instead of the Tennessee Smokies this year.
