Did you get anywhere?
We’re going to be in the area the weekend of July 26. What’s the closest minyan for shabbos?

When you're next door neighbor is out of the t'chum, a minyan on shabbos gets kinda tricky...

Perhaps in Gatlinburg or any development style spots...

The experience is incredible.  At night, with no cell service, sitting outside on a pitch black (literally) mountain in the forest....

I was only there for 2 days. It's not full of activities, but there is a lake right there where you can do boating activities for real cheap and go swimming in. There's also the nature activities like hiking etc.

You can raft the Nantahala or drive the tail of the dragon and if willing to drive more than an hour, you can do the Ocoee instead of Nantahala.  It’s much better but doesn’t flow on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 Working on a Pesach chol hamoed trip to the Smoky Mountains and I was wondering if there is anyone else that is planning on going so we can work out a minyan.
