Sounds like its coming together. Hope y'all have a smooth, uneventful move/trip. May have to detour off 40 to get the more scenic route. You pass through some state parks that aren't far off the main hwy. You could pick up the BRP blue ridge parkway in ashville and follow it to 80 then head down into marion to jump back on 40. But that could add some significant time to your trip. Let us know when you get settled or if you need some local assistance. Have a good weekend.
