Drove the Smoky Mountain Blue Ridge Parkway early this morning. Felt like we were back home with temperatures in the upper 40's. Stopped to take a photo of this waterfall and froze my....off!
The streams were plentiful through the Smoky Mountains.
Elevation ranged from 5,000 to over 6,000 ft. 
Driving through the Smoky Mountains was beautiful....kind of reminded me of driving through Glacier National Park, only on a much smaller scale. Traffic and tourists were at a minimum today and can't imagine what it's like during peak tourist season. Saw two cyclists today in the mountains, which sparked our desire to come back some day and cycle the Smoky Mtns. in the future.....wouldn't that be fun?Road construction has started early in this part of the country, so lots of delays and lots of traffic. Traffic gets old, really old! After heading into Kentucky this afternoon, Bike man and I just kept driving. We are beyond sightseeing now so our goal is to head home. We've had three days of rain and cool conditions, so we are ready to aim for home sweet home.
Staying overnight in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Nice!
ReplyDeleteThe 'Smokies' sure are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI sure do love a road trip, but I also love getting back home. Glad that you and bike man are having a good time.
