Scott:
We have seen this proposal and get quite a chuckle out of it. Be relieved to
know that you will never see any such Interstate or other roadway for that
matter that does away with the Dragon.
Here are two good reasons:
1. The environmentalists would raise hold **** as there are several
endangered species in the area and the run-off from construction down into
the Little Tennessee would severely affect many little insects and marine
life. We are aware of one study already that speaks to this.

2. The Great Smoky Mountain National Park would never allow any expansion
along the US129 ROW.
