    Tn 32 from Cosby campground to the NC Line, when the road becomes chat. Really a fun ride with lots of loop-backs and decreasing radius turns. The run is only 11.4 miles long and you can turn around and do it again going back. Its close to I40.

    Chat

    Usually a chat road has more gravel dust in it than gravel. The only reason to turn around is if you want to keep the sides of your car clean.

    Two years at the Boo run, it became even more fun with a single 'clear lane' in the wet leaves. The braking zone became much larger.

    Its a really fun ride. Then.... take in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or run I-40 - although its closed going from Ashville to the TN line because of a rock slide. They should have the slide cleaned up shortly.
