Day 5: The Great Smoky Mountains

Today we finished our journey through Alabama after an uneventful and uninteresting stay in Florence, AL.  We crossed back into Tennessee and into Pigeon Forge, TN - just outside of the Great Smoky Mountains. Even though it was late in the day, we made it out to Clingman's Dome in the park. After a brief but steep walk up to the lookout tower, we took in some spectacular views of the mountain tops. The temperature in Pigeon Forge was 92 degrees... at the top of the mountain... 66 degrees! Not much in the way of wildlife... although we did see a wild turkey (and we're not talking about Vinny).

Tomorrow, we'll do some hiking along various waterfall trails in the Great Smoky Mountains. Cece and Vinny are hoping to see a bear... I'm sure the feeling is not mutual from the bear's point of view.
