Mountains National Park. I think the nearest town is Townsend, TN.
And drove Roughly ten miles up a mountain with switch backs. We've
been dry camping there for two nights. Meaning . . . no water, no
electric and no septic hook-ups. Also there is no cell or Internet
service. As luck would have it this has been one of our best camping
spots EVER. I guess we now must make this a destination and not just a
layover spot. While here we are also catching up on our reading. Tim
has his new Wally book. And I a book borrowed book from a fellow
Airstreamer . . . Steinbeck's TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY. Both very
appropiate reads for our travels.
We drove the Cades Cove Loop. This is a must do eleven mile single
lane one-way drive through a cove (valley). This cove has many
preserved cabins & barns from a settlement started in the early
1800's. There are many hiking trails all over with one being about a
five mile hike to the Appalachian Trail. We must come back here to do
more hiking and exploring. We as Americans are very fortunate to have
these places to go to.
Now we are headed farther north today to yet another state. We'll see
how far we get on this leg of our journey.
What beautiful pics, Alice! Your trip sounds so awesome, and Wynn and I appreciate the sharing. Since we cannot leave the area ourselves, we have to 'live the dream' through you and the #4249!!
ReplyDeleteWe are, however, going to the Pendleton Round-up this year, it is their 100th year Annie-versary. LOL. I'll pick you up some goodies to send. #4249 has been there twice, so it has to have fun stuff!
the Chappell's
Beautimus! Wish we were there!
