2011 - From Florida Space Coast to Gatlinburg, Tennessee

We had a very long drive from the space coast to Gatlinburg; originally had scheduled 2 days to make the trip, but had lengthened our time in Florida by 2 nights when the shuttle launch was first postponed. Now it was postponed again, and we had to scoot; a 12-hour drive through five states - Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and into Tennessee!







The view down the street of our little timeshare stop in Gatlinburg - the trolley system was handy

The next morning, we discovered the Motor Nature Trail into GSMNP, which started just up the street from us

Awww, the beautiful trees

And old historic homesteads...

And running streams...

Hiking in the smokies

a very rocky, climbing trail

quiet woods all the way, a nice respite after having spent the whole previous day in the truck!
