We all get settled on the bus and off we go
We've got some great river views on the way in
We saw some wild turkeys
Lots of majestic mountain scenery
A deer
and a Bear!!!
We also learned that Cades Cove was a thriving settlers community with
Churches
Cemetaries
(If you can prove you are a direct desendent of the settlers here, you can still be buried here)
A town center with the public building
A blacksmith shop
a water run mill
(Did you know "millin around" came from the settlers coming into town and waiting on their turn to have their corn/grain milled)
and the grand house in town
Of course most of the settlers lived in log homes like this
We returned to the campground and I got shots of all of us at the campground.

Snarky Sign is out again!!
Also, Olivia (Liv Luvs Disney) and her beautiful children came by for a bit
Then the group all wandered down the road for dinner at a local place
The name is.....
After dinner, we once again got a fire going, pulled out the happy hour stuff and enjoyed each other's company.
Coming next, heading for Virginia/Tennessee/Kentucky!!
