Sorry, never been there, so all I have to offer is that Gatlin, Nebraska, is where the Children of the Corn live, so if some creepy kid asks you to walk into a field to meet “He Who Walks Behind the Rows” get the hell out of there. On the plus side, I’m sure that Gatlinburg, TN has no relationship to Gatlin, NE. ---

It took us 3 hours to drive that 11 miles because the traffic was so backed up… That would be the previously mentioned **Cades Cove** in the **Great Smoky Mountains National Park** (yes, “Great” is part of the name). That’s why it’s nice to go early on a Saturday when the loop is closed to cars until 10:00am. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/visiting-gatlinburg/598176.md?page=1)
