Vacation 2008 - Smoky Mountains!


Here's KC up in the Smokys A typical view of the Smokys A little off the road hike break...
Corinne doing the mountian view pose... We got on CHAPMAN Hwy which went on for quite a while... It is a major road there... and there are all sorts of places named with "Chapman" (this and that...) Chapman Hwy sign... (We also so the intersection of Chapman Hwy and Larry street!!! (didn't have my camera ready for that one!)
Here's our second hotel in Gatelinburg, Tn. ...and the dinky "lazy river" and pool... We had lots of views like this
KC and Dara at a stop in the Smoky Mtn National Park... This is Clingmans Dome... It was quite a hike to get here! The final ramp to the dome...
KC in the dome me in the smoke again... KC going down the ramp...
A nice shot of KC A view from Clingmans Dome... OK, now we are on the Appalachian Trail!
This was a really nice, moderately easy hiking trail... KC on the Appalachian Trail KC doing some extra exploring...
Where did he go??? ...and why does it seem lik I am being watched... It looks like you can take this trail to Maine if you have enough time!
The A-Trail is on the NC, Tn state line... (like these guys!) Smoky view... (to Corinnes Camera)... This is a cave (in the Smokys) that Dara and Corinne explored a little
Inside the cave... (a little encore!) This is a place in Gatelinburg... One of the shops that they went into... I won't do any emBEARassing jokes here...)
