Rock slide?!? At what point do you differentiate between a rock slide and the mountain just giving up to gravity?

Look at the size of those boulders, they're going to have dynamite that to clean it up.

I'm waiting for the next big one to hit I-40 in western North Carolina.

I hope not, that's the quickest way back home for me from Georgia.

I'm through there twice a day, 5 days a week. When it happens, it's going to be around the 8 mile marker.

Why do you go that way instead of through Morristown? It looks like that would be faster. How do you go?

I go to waynesville and hit 40 through the gorge. I then take 81 to Morristown.

That's what I figured you'd do, I'm confused though, why would you be on 70 in Hawkins county to get to Middlesboro from Morristown?
