Great Smoky Mountains View

Not eating turkey this year... but seeing some wild ones in the Great Smoky Mountains. My plan to not have crowds didn’t pan out since others had the same idea... especially when we shouldn’t have driven through Gatlinburg! When we travelled to the Smokies three years ago, we didn’t know we’d be moving East... so it doesn’t have all the excitement as “you won’t be back for a long time” adventures.. I fear we might have kids who get to do too much that they don’t appreciate... grrr... Granted, they mostly wanted a hike... We explored the old homestead life, threw rocks in cold streams, wandered through trees, talked about the Cherokee trail of tears (singing #classicalconversations timeline song), and listened to more BFG while driving on more winding roads!
