Mountains and Rivers and Trees..Oh My!

The Great Smoky Mountains are actually way behind great. In fact, I have fallen in love with this whole area. The air feels so fresh, the colors so look vivid and I feel refreshed and at peace at the same time. Even Wiggy seems a little less anxious, although she doesn't always want to leave when we pack up and move on-which we are doing tomorrow morning. We are not going far, only about an hour away, as there is so much more to do and see here. If all goes as planned, I'll be meeting up with a friend from Tennessee next week and taking a ride on the famous Smoky Mountain Railroad! I'm very excited. (Now, if I can only convince her to go zip-lining with me....)

Here are some pictures, although it is hard to do justice to the beauty of this place.
