Sunday -- The Great Smoky Mountains National Park

We woke up a little late on Sunday, had a good breakfast, and headed out about 9:30am to tour the park. The first thing that we did was to take a couple of pictures of the campground that we are staying in. It is a little Mom and Pop type campground with a lot of 'weekend fishing trailers with connecting side rooms' and with the PA discount, it is only $15 per night with full hookups. It is only 5 miles from the park entrance, and has very strong and free WIFI.

We drove from the south end of the park to Gatlinburg on the north end. After that, we drove around a scenic loop, and then headed to Cade's Cove. At Cade's cove, we saw several old buildings and some wildlife --- turkies and deer, but no bears today! The following pictures pretty much tell the story of the day:
On Monday, we get back on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Asheville, NC, and continue eastward toward Virginia.
