Thank you for the information. That will make spring in the Smokies difficult.

Ahhhh, I smell Recovery $$$. Nothing like the smell of a good recovery in the spring, but why do we have to recover all at once???

I love the smell of hot asphalt in the spring... :biggrin:

They need to repave the Greenbrier section too.

Cheers, Steve
