North Carolina and Tennessee

We took a day trip and went into N. Carolina and travelled thru the Great Smokie Mountains. Unfortunately we missed most of the Fall colors, as there was quite a wind and snow storm that went thru the area before we were able to get there. It was still spectacular to see, none the less. We came across snow along the sides of the road as we got closer to the summit. We went up the mountain on the sunny side, then when we started our descent, the snow was still quite abundant and there was even snow on the road. Once on the other side of the mountains we were going to stop and check out Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville to take in some of the sights. However, most of the sights were right along the highway in the form of a multitude of touristy traps. Those were not appealing to us so we continued our trip back to Panther. We stopped for supper in a little tavern along the highway, to find out that it was one of the first places that Bonnie and Clyde shot up and robbed in their crime spree. That made for on interesting conversation with our waiter. It was a good day and we quite enjoyed ourselves.
