TNDOT says they are ahead of schedule on the US129 rock slide clean up effort. Thankfully there is a way through the area between Robbinsville and Maryville alternative to Deals Gap. The Knoxville Trail is a little-known passage through the area and is passable by car. An old forest road, it has been kept worn down and in decent repair by hunters, nature lovers and locals. Not too many people like to talk about the Knoxville Trail, but in times like these where you have to turn around and go back to Bumfuct, Egypt to get around the slide, the Knoxville Trail comes in quite handy.
Be sure to ask about it.
