Great drive! You mentioned that expressway on Great Smoky Mountains Expressway has mixture of freeway and non-grade separated segments. Did you know that the term "expressway" in the US means it is lower-class road while the term "expressway" in Asian countries means it is highest-class road (no traffic light, access to public, or intersection) unlike the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway that you just drove?
Brings back many memories of driving or riding this stretch when I went to Western Carolina University. I loved the elevation changes.
Great video of what is a very scenic drive. I'd love to visit the Appalachians someday, there's so much history and stories in that part of the world.

Thank you! Yes, I do know that "expressway" and "highway" have different meanings outside of the US.
