Have fun. Gatlinburg is not too far from here. Some of my favorite spots in the US are right outside of there, Mt. Leconte, which I climbed once, plus Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, plus there is a terrific lodge called the Wonderland Lodge, which used to be in the National Park, but was later relocated to outside of the park. I love both, but must tell you the unusual decor and the age made the older one better. Helen and I visited two summers ago and did a little tour around the old one, and stayed in the new one. I have many happy memories of both now.

Have a great time.
