In our ongoing attempt to stay off the Interstates (we love you President Eisenhower, however...) we decided to take a detour through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. A great choice by us because they are beautiful. Unfortunately you won't see the best pictures. Those ones are on my camera. Which is dead. And the charger is buried somewhere in the back of The Jeep Version 2.0. So you may get to see them by the panhandle of Texas when one of us succumbs and decides to unpack and repack the vehicle.
However, enough about the dead battery in the camera, things we learned in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park:
1. Teddy Roosevelt was a genius (he championed the national park concept)

2. The Great Smoky Mountains NP is the most visited National Park in America
3. Some random organic compound in the air makes the Smoky Mountains "smoky" (ok we may not have learned all there is to know about that one)
4. The Cherokee Indian Tribe was in NC and TN
5. It does not take 20 yrs of Forest Service employment to tell the difference between forest fires and individual tree-homicide due to non-native bugs
6. This is beautiful country. Absolutely beautiful.
