There's hope for the National Park main road

As you may remember from a previous post, the road through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been closed because of a landslide.  You can still get into the park from both the Gatlinburg and the North Carolina sides, but you can't go ALL the way through the park.

Now there is hope.  According to an article in the Charlotte Observer, a contractor has been hired to fix the problem.  The contractor estimates the road will be back open by May 15 - which is a lot earlier than earlier predictions that said the road would be closed for a whole year.

You can read the whole article by clicking here.  Stay tuned - we'll try to keep you updated.
