My Short Trip to The Smoky Mountains

On February 18, 2010, I took a very short trip with my niece, Sarah, to KY and the Smoky Mountains our first stop was to pick up my other niece Dana, who lives in KY.

The main street of Gatlingburg
Snow on the Mountain Tops
Free Moonshine Tasting!
This was the only Black Bear I saw!
We had a wonderful time, I love the Smoky Mountains, I have been there many, many times. We stayed in Gatlinburg. Being the weekend we knew it was going to be busy, but we didn't know about the Church of Christ Conference for kids, a dance competition, a state Cheerleading Championship! It was wall to wall people! We still had fun. We walked down main street, looking in all the shops, eating BBQ, & people watching! They had free tasting of Homemade Moonshine, a bit powerful! The Mountain tops still had snow on them, and some of the roads in the park where still closed. We did a little hiking, easy trails for me. The mountains steams and waterfalls, were beautiful!

It is so peaceful in the mountains! A waterfall as seen from the road.
