Phone service required to get DSL: There is no way to sign up for Verizon Wireless' DSL Internet without also signing up for phone service. This is a limitation that most other DSL providers do not have, so you may be frustrated to hear that Verizon does.
What caused the Gatlinburg wildfire? Dry conditions and high winds caused a wildfire on Chimney Tops Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains to spread quickly. Even as officials in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevier County assess the damage caused by a massive wildfire, the question of how the blaze started continues.
Gatlinburg, TN is just a short drive from Pigeon Forge and rests on the border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park along U.S. Highway 441, which connects Gatlinburg to Cherokee, North Carolina through the national park. Gatlinburg can also be accessed via Interstate 40 from exit 407.
