FYI, Those coming from the West or North or South I-40, I-24, I-65 there's a BassPro in N'ville that's easily accessible, if you need anything hunting related.
Those coming from the East, there's a BassPro on I-40 East of Knoxville at the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg exit. Easy access off of I-40.
Those coming South or North on I-75, there's a Dick's and others in Knoxville.
If you need other items, alcohol, food items, etc. Once you get on I-40E towards Monterey, Cookeville is the last town you'll pass that has a good selection of stores. Cookeville has a local gun/hunting/fishing store called "Cookeville Outdoors" if they haven't changed the name or sold out.
If your going West on I-40, Crossville is the last town that has much.
Monterey is a nice little place, but other then a couple a 24hr convenience stores, small grocery, not much. They did have a nice little diner called the "Cup & Saucer". There was a Bar-Be-Que place, but don't know if their still in business. The sidewalks roll up early in the evening.
