Fall is Here

Stoned?

This stone was at the end of the trail to Abrams Falls in Tennessee. Of course I had to turn it over!

I am quite sure the mountain is Rocky Top Mountain near Wears Valley, Tennessee.

Wears Valley

A nice surprise to come around a curve in the road and see these turkeys, with a great background for this photo. This was in Wears Valley, Tennessee next to the Smoky Mountains!

My wife after doing this trail!

The first section of trail more or less follows the cascading waters of Road Prong Creek, and crosses several footbridges along the 0.9-mile route to Beech Flats. If you’re hiking during the spring or early summer, look for rhododendron, mountain laurel and many other wildflowers blooming along the trailside during this time period. The trail junction at Beech Flats marks the approximate half-way point for this hike. From here the Road Prong Trail branches off to the left towards the Appalachian Trail at Indian Gap, roughly 2.4 miles away. The Road Prong Trail, which continues to follow the stream of the same name, is one of the oldest trails in the Smokies. In the 18th and 19th centuries this ancient path was commonly known as the Indian Gap Trail.

Lots of people waiting to take care of their banking needs on a busy Saturday morning at Mt. Hope. Lined up outside the drive-up window, and at the front door.

House Raising

It looks like this home will get a basement! I think they are still living it during the reconstruction!
