[QUOTE="citico_tim, post: 1379693, member: 1583"] Possible flash floods in the mountains are something you had better respect. Many years ago I took a 4 day 3 night trip into the Slickrock - Joyce Kilmer wilderness area. It started raining as soon as I closed the car door and headed off. It rained almost continuously for the next 4 days and really broke open as I was driving home. Over the next 24 hours the almost the entire road along Citico Creek in Tellico, including a campground washed away. The amount of water that had to come down that valley to even cover the road is unbelievable. The same thing has happened to the Little River Road between Gatlinburg and Townsend at least a couple of times in my memory. On one occasion I was so concerned about rising water that I packed up and left in the middle of the night. [/QUOTE]
