Mando and I included portions of this route as we traveled via scenic highways from our homes in Southern Illinois to the Smoky Mountains. The portion of the trip in lower middle Tennessee from Waynesboro to Monteagle was on Tn 64. Tn 64 has many identities: Lawrenceburg Highway, Fayetteville Highway, McBurg Road, Winchester Highway, and, mainly, The David Crockett Scenic Highway.
Nevertheless, it is a limited access four lane highway featuring sweeping curves and splendid vistas.
After bypassing the Chattanooga area via I24 and I75, we reconnected with Tn 64 at Cleveland, Tn. This is the well know Ocoee River Scenic highway section.
We traveled the area during September, 2014. Rafting and vacationing crowds were nonexistent. Good ride.
We exited Nc 64 for Nc 74 in Murphy, Nc. to complete the last leg pf our trip to Cherokee, Nc.
327 miles covered in one day with about 250 of them on scenic highways. Plenty of gas and food along the way.
