Last day in the Smokies

Our last day in the Smokies and we encounter a traffic sign we had never seen before  - I guess this confirms that sometimes we are going around in circles!

The Foliage is spectacular - rivalling New England's - there are more species of trees in the Smoky Mountains than there are in all of  Europe


Babbling brooks, streams and rivers are everywhere

Cades Cove Loop is a scenic drive in the Northwest part of the Park with some of the historic buildings remaining.  We had hoped to see Bear but missed a mother bear and 3 cubs that had passed by an hour before us.



Some hikes you just can't do in a day!

The center of the Park is where the border is between North Carolina and Tennessee

Unfortunately, an ash borer is dessimating the Ash trees in the Park

We will continue on to Nashville to visit with Gary's Aunt and Uncle where an inverter we won on Ebay will be shipped.  Soon we will be able to raise and lower the bed and make coffee without the Generator!
