The state park visitor center had enlightened us on what Fairy Stones are,… Continue reading Fairy Stones And Dynamite
From Elkmont campground we drove to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I was really surprised by what we found. My expectations were based on a hodge podge clump of public education I picked up in fourth grade – “Fourteen hundred and ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue”, and then there was "One-ith by land, two-ith by sea, and… Continue reading The Gatlinburg Surprise
Smokemont campground and Elkmont campground are in the Smokey’s. BTW did you know that Smoky the bears middle name is, “The”. Ha-ha. The roads are incredible in the Smokey’s.
