Well this sucks :(

Part of Cherohala Skyway collapses near Tennessee line
Scenic road will likely remain closed for several months

Well, if they can get it fixed in 2-3 months like the article said, it'll be open when we get there. We can hope.

Hmmm, sounds fun, but around this part of NC, if you go past a barrier and get caught, you get a big fat fine.

Those pics don't begin to show all the damage. That is one of several roads washed out or gone during the recent rains. I wouldn't count on it being repaired by May.
