Travel day through Sequatchie Valley . . .
Trying to depart a location early never works for some reason. But the best excuses can be found to justify this. Just as we were to depart Oneonta AL Tim's Uncle James came to visit. Uncle James had been gone all weekend at a car show in Helen GA and had just returned from his travels. This was such a treat to be able to see him prior to us leaving. I had begun to think we wouldn't. It totally made my day. Oh .... and how we managed to unload half of our belongings into Louise's place I'll never know.
We finally pulled out just before ten o'clock AM. Once on the road we found the traffic to be light. Our selected route took us out of the way up through the Sequatchie Valley and along the Tennessee River. The scenery was well worth the effort and uneventful for the most part. There were a few odd things to see along the way. One of the best stops of the day was to hit a Starbucks and pizza place along the way. Yum! Our arrival to Cades Cove in The Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee was later than anticipated but it's so nice to be in the woods and off grid. Awwww .... It's beer thirty. Oh yeah! Finally a campfire. But we had no marsh mellows. Maybe the camp store will have a supply.
