Great morning to tour around the
Smokey Mountain National Park. We have
marked to our schedule for today to go see Cades Cove which is a part of the
Smokey Mountain National Park. The
beauty I saw today still has my jaw dropped.
I saw bear, turkey,log cabins, running grist mills, and the natural
beauty of nature. Thank God for all the
beautiful things when there is so much bad in this world. While I was in Cades Cove I forgot about
everything and just enjoyed the beauty.
The road leading out to Cades Cove was called Roaring Fork Rd. The road was like driving through the forest
and the beauty was unbelievable. We
stopped several times to look at all the rivers and cascading waterfalls. What a lovely drive .....More stops along the way to
Cades Coves. I got pictures of the beautiful flowers, forests with
hanging vines, and beautiful views of the Smokey Mountains as we traveled down Roaring Fork Rd.

We did spot a mill along the river and stopped and hung out for a while ......Most of the mill was still in tack
We have made it to the entrance of the Smokey Mountain National Park and stopped to get some information on Cades Cove. It's a driving tour which offers great opportunities to see wildlife like deer, turkeys, and black bear. The journey through Cades Cove was spectacular with beautiful views and history of running grist mills, churches and log cabins. We got out at each location stop and read the signs telling us about the history of the buildings.

Met some wonderful people in the park. Conrad was a radio
broadcaster for Eagles 104. The state of TN had raised over 1 million dollars
to fight child abuse. These people have a heart of gold.
There were so many small waterfalls in the park. I could
spend hours just watching and listening to the rush of the water. We got back
to the car and found a wooly worm snaking across our windshield. His legs
looked liked rollers.
Stopped at a store in the woods that had an ole pick up
truck in it. Oh the beauty of seeing so much in a few hours.
