I booked a hotel in Murfreesboro (TN) a year ago in anticipation of this; got a good rate. Now, there doesn’t seem to be much availability.
My plan is to head from there towards Sparta which is near the mid-line. Hoping the roads aren’t too crazy, but I’ll already be in the path, just trying to maximize it.
As an aside, I’m also looking for a retirement area on this trip in TN, KY, WV - probably around the Smokies. Any mid-size communities (30-150k) a Freeper would reccommend?
Lenoir City or Loudon.
Stay in that county.
