That is, unless you turned around after visiting Bristol and drove 150 miles back to Sevierville, to finish the pilgrimage.

Of course, publishers, even the staid University of Chicago, knows that a book title mentioning Dollywood would be much more likely to get someone's attention than one mentioning Bristol. Let accuracy be disdained.
Dollywood would kind of be a good place to end your pilgrimage, even if you had to go past it and come back. What better way to end your pilgrimage than to have fun at an amusement park and get to spend time in the Dolly Parton museum there? Time your trip right and you could even see Dolly perform.
