Today we went to Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountain National Forest.
The drive there was as beautiful as yesterday's drive (but 2 lane and a little wider). I think we both got some sun/wind burn today.
The Cove is a valley that was inhabited by pioneers and has been preserved to look like it did in the 1800's. It's a one way, 11 mile drive. Today there were lots of cars with us and we were all slowed down by kids or kids and parents on bikes. (I think we're cursed- we seem to, even now, find kids on vacation - spring break here; almost everywhere we go.) With stops the drive was about 2 hours- the only wildlife we saw were some deer- too many kids running in all the rest of the fields.
We decided to stay here one more day before continuing our Spring Loop. There's lots to see and we've only done the nature/history part.
Tomorrow the Easter Craft Show starts- guess where we'll be?
