Hey neighboring TN HTF. I bet you guys get a lot of this. I will be coming out and renting a cabin from Aug 8 to Aug 13. I read about the wonderful places to visit but i was wondering if you could help me on a couple of things. Me and my fiance are thinking of whitewater rafting and wonder if thats possible near gatlinburg/pigeon forge and also do you guys have some can't pass by gun shops near there and shooting ranges??

Not sure about rafting there, but in the SE corner of TN you can raft at the Ocoee River. Should be about a 2hr~ drive, straight down Hwy 411.

Also on Hwy 411 is Benton Shooter's Supply, possibly TN's biggest gun shop. Not necessarily the cheapest, but perhaps the biggest.

If you make it down, eat at the Gondolier restaurant on Hwy 64, just down from Parksville Lake & dam. They're about 10 minutes (if that) east of the dam, FWIW. Other than their steak, every thing they have is gooooooooooooooooooddddddddd, to quote Andy Griffith.
