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. Sorry Lou Lou I had such high hopes for a positive report. If anyone's been, and probably most of you haven't, it's a bit like Timbertown ...
Day 21 - Gatlinburg - Tennessee
... in for a big long coach ride back to Tennessee, this time to the east side to a place called Gatlingburg. I've been told that Gatlingburg is hillbilly country.

Along the way, we saw some artifacts from before the area was a park - an ...
Enloe Creek Falls Attempt
... into the park, where it becomes Straight Fork Road. We parked at the trailhead to Hyatt Ridge Trail and began our hike. The Hyatt Ridge Trail runs for about 1.9 miles before meeting up with the Enloe Creek Trail. And it is uphill the entire way, for more than 1000 feet of elevation gain. But with cooler weather and beautiful fall color, it wasn't too bad. There was even a big ...
