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.

Day 21 - Gatlinburg - Tennessee

Continuing on, the trail twisted around before starting to head back down ...
Enloe Creek Falls Attempt
... and Raven Fork Falls, a small 8-foot cascade. Getting downstream was a bit of a challenge, however, and it took some rock climbing and tree hugging to get downstream. After a short bit, it was clear that further travel was impossible, so we headed back to the bridge. There is a campsite immediately across the bridge and the Enloe Creek Trail continues past the intersection ...
