Tennessee Camping Trip - Cherokee Orchard Road

In October, our family traveled to lovely state of Tennessee. We visited Uncle Eric in Nashville and then we spent a week hiking and camping in Smokey Mountain National Park. Despite the fact it rained half the week, we still enjoyed ourselves tremendously. One day we drove around the Cherokee Orchard Road. It's a one way road that loops through the mountain side. Along the road were many sites to stop and look around. One place held a mini hike down to the creek. Daphne went down with Ian, Shelley and Gramps. She loved crossing the make-shift bridge. The creeks are unlike anything back home, and everyone enjoyed playing around them!

Ian loved to rock hop down the creek, and Shelley was sure that he was going to fall in, but he never did.
What do you think of the new house we bought?
Our family wouldn't survive without technology. We thrive on it. So we'll leave the house as Park property after all. But just behind the house was this site....we all would love to have that to wake up to every morning!
The Cherokee Orchard Road was a beautiful drive, but Gramp's big truck scared us a few times. The one-way road was so tiny and the truck was so big, there was times we weren't sure the truck wouldn't make the curve!
