Smoky Mountain Blue Grass


It's been a busy couple of weeks. We passed through the great smokies and scored a nice stream side camp site. Some of the trails we wanted were closed so we hiked up the dome. This hill top is crowned with a lookout tower offering 360 degree views. Another short trail down the valley wandered through old growth forest. We saw another bear on the road side and snapped a few pictures at a safe distance.




Friday we headed out of the park for the blue grass festival. It was just getting started so the real action was not on the state. Musicians gathered for impromptu jam sessions under every available shade tree. If you didn't like one song, it was only few paces over to here something different.

A friendly local commented on our car, loaded down with bikes and boats. Soon she offered advice on where to kayak as we passed through Alabama on our way to Baton Rouge..
