Yesterday we left home early and spent the day driving, some of the time through hard rain--our destination Gatlinburg, Tennessee, now staying our second night in this beautiful little town. Here is a morning view of our river front before we left, though we imagine we'll be coming back to snow. Alex, as usual, is covering the Gardens and watching the house. We come down this way every year to attend the Smokey Mountains Gift Show. After going to 2 shows this morning we hiked in the park. Below we are at Spruce Falls where we had our lunch, and on the way back snapped some risk-taking kayakers.
