Hello all, The public meetings to address the future of North Shore Road (a.k.a. "The Road To No Where") in Great Smoky National Park (GSMNP) is tonight, March 1, and Thursday night, March 3. This issue has been ongoing for many years. The park is in the EIS process to decide whether or not to continue building the entire road, part of the road, or not build at all. There are several different options for this proposed road in what is often referred to as the most pristine portion of GSMNP, located in Swain County, NC. Come have your voice heard: March 1 6pm - 8:30, Knoxville, TN Marriott Knoxville, Mississippi Room 500 Hill Ave SE March 3 6 pm - 8:39, Gaitlinburg, TN Glenstone Lodge, Azalea Room 504 Historic Nature Trail ===== Tracey Muise "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.
