I lurved Cade’s Cove when I went there, we did the bike tour, but … it’s crowded, alrighty. And it’s been awhile since we went there, it can only have gotten worse. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > Oh, also: I am planning on bringing my .45 with me. I don’t have a CCW permit, but I have a mild amount of concern over possible being mauled by a bear when we are in the middle of nowhere since so many of them live in the area. I wonder what legal bugaboos I may run into. Upon googling, it looks like I’m good within the limits of a state park in TN, but not really sure otherwise. > > ETA: I don’t plan on toting it around everywhere we go, but in Ohio where I am at without a CCW permit you can transport your weapon as long as its in plain view. I am more worried about getting pulled over for speeding or something silly and suddenly running afoul of some law that puts me in jail for firearm possession, even though my firearm is legal. If you have any kind of a carry permit in your home state (I’m thinking Indiana or Ohio, right?), check to see if they have a reciprical agreement with Tennessee. When I moved here from Indiana, I had no problems transporting all the way down and it was no big deal to take my time having it changed. ---

Has anyone been ziplining there? We definitely want to do it, and the reviews are great. I just really want to make sure it’s worth the money and time. [This](http://www.smokymountainziplines.com/specials.php) is rated one of the number one attractions in the area on Trip Advisor and is where I’d like to go. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > Well, _I’m_ going to Knoxville. She can be all huffy back at the cabin. Let me know. I’ll meet you for a beer or three! Definitely check out Groupon and the like. There are usually deals on zip lines, white water rafting, horseback riding, etc. ---
