Cade's Cove - Smoky Mountains

We left EARLY Saturday morning - before the sun was up early - to drive to Cade's Cove to see the animals. The bears are out of hibernation and we wanted to see them, the foxes, deer and other animals in the mountains out for their early morning feeding. We were with Doug & Phillis, Barbara, and Joe & Helen in Joe & Helen's motorhome. It was beautiful and we had a good time. Good family + good friends + good times = a good life!

The mountains were clothed in their signature smoky haze...thus the name Smoky Mountains. The streams were crystal clear and COLD. We saw quite a few animals, and drove through the mountains looking at old (1800's) churches, log cabins and barns. It was a peaceful day overall. I'm ready to do it again!
