The Great Smokies
After many weeks at sealevel and mostly straight roads, we are again up and down in elevation on narrow little mountain roads (yes, numbered state routes) with some corners that we barely fit around without crossing the yellow line. About 3,000 ft in elevation. The weather has been cool and overcast- in fact much of the Blue Ridge Parkway has been closed, as wall as the road through the Smokies the other day. We are at the southern most campground in the Smokies. We did a little hike today- had to cross some creeks on log bridges- check out Dear Diary for Rhylee’s “fun” on this hike 🙂
Our ride over the Smokies on Newfound Gap Rd. was rather uneventful as it was all fogged in.
And then a night in the Cracker Barrel parking lot, after driving through 10 miles of tourist “attractions” and strip malls on a 6 lane highway!
