Asheville (and the local kilted rabble) is on your return route. Franklin and the Tartan Museum would be on that route as well if you diverge from I-40 and take the Smoky Mountain Expressway through the Nantahala Gorge (a very scenic route that I can recommend).

That is assuming you are traveling through the Smokies rather than the Rockies!
