Rock Slide Area

 Good morning,

As you can see from the rock "wall" at the right side of the highway, rock slides happen often here so drivers have to be aware of the possibility of obstructions in the roadway.  This is part of the Great Smoky Mountains.

 A few years ago there was a huge rock slide here that closed the Interstate for weeks.

 It's hard to see in this image, but there is fencing "holding" the hillside in place.

Several years ago when the big slide happened, we needed to return to work in Florida before the repairs were complete.  We took a different route from Cincinnati to Port Canaveral and enjoyed a change of scenery.  The trip was longer, but we allowed for extra time and enjoyed the ride.

Stay tuned.  We're still working our way North.
