Yesterday was a very exciting day as our family took the day off (well, it was fall break) and drove 2 1/2 hours to the Smokies to see Cades Cove, where many early settlers lived, worked and died before the Great Smoky Mountains park was created in the 1930s.
Of course, 20 other million people went to, as the Smokies are the most visited National Park and Cades Cove is the most visited place in the park. And don't forget, October is one of the highest visitation months, with fall color. Anyway, it was tons of fun, even with the traffic (some bumper-to-bumper) on the 11 mile scenic loop. I took over 150 pictures, and displayed here are some of the best.
