The last few miles went by quickly as we finished our trek across Tennessee on Highway 70. Many of the miles paralelled the French Broad River and most of it was through beautiful forests, over winding roads with curves that could take your breath away.
Newport was our last Tennessee town, one that we had visited on an earlier trip when we were doing our Thunder Road visit. We remember the functional still we discovered in a restaurant and the history of the area during the Al Capone years when organized crime is alleged to have had an East Tennessee connection.
We passed the turn off 70 for Del Rio where Catherine Marshall's mother lived and worked as a teacher. All to soon, se came around a curve and there it was: North Carolina. Our trip was over.
