Day 22 - Gatlingburg - Tennessee
Oh my it really is hillbilly country here and the flag flies proudly. Today I headed to Dollywood. I think Dolly is fantastic so don't want to say anything too bad, but the word lame continually sprung to mind. Doesn't mean I didn't giggle all day long, but alas it was more at rather than with.

Enloe Creek Falls Attempt
... three fourths of the way for a nice break. At the junction, we turned left to head down the Enloe Creek Trail. The steady downhill was a nice relief after heading up for a ways, but of course that means more uphill on the way back.
