Loving the Smoky Mountains

Dad refers to Gatlinburg as Glitterville (we have also heard it referred to as Redneck  Vegas😄)! He certainly has a point. Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge offers unique attraction such as: Dollywood, the best Daisy Duke show anywhere, the Biblical Times dinner theatre which boasts that it offers a feast of biblical proportions, and a dollar store that advertises live alligators. Then--BAM--you enter Smoky Mountain National Park and immediately feel an entirely different type of magic.

Yesterday we went on a 2.6 mile hike to Grotto Falls. After we had hiked for one hour thirty we found a marker that indicated we were 2.8 miles from the falls. Oh, oh! We never did find the falls, but we managed to meet a lovely couple from Illinois who were also lost and consider the morning a win as we did eventually find our car. We finished off the day on the eleven mile auto loop of Cade's Cove where I saw my first black bear. I did get a picture by hanging out the sunroof, but the furry beast was moving so fast that I only captured a hint of a bear.

Loving the Smoky Mountains.  You are Always in my Prayers. Mom
