More about TN...

Sorry I was absent for soooo long!
On Monday April 8th we arrived at our cabin.  It was between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg...on the top of a mountain!  Meaning.....every time we left, we had to go down the mountain and then back up at night.
Isn't she cute?
Here is one of the 2 decks....the hot tub was directly behind me.
this is the main living space
a kitchen, living room, dining room and pool table 
Down stairs was the bedroom  

Here we are....

Tuesday.... 
along the path 
at the falls...we made sandwiches on that little bench.
All together now....aaawwww! 

Then we went hiking to 
about 2 steps up the path was this sign??? 
We made it to the falls....with out falling to our death!
It was a 2.5 mile hike up and around a mountain...and of course, a 2.5 mile hike back down the mountain. 

Wednesday we visited the Famous Cades Cove..almost everyone that visit the Smoky Mountains heads to this little gem!
Basically it's a 7 mile loop around a cove between 2 mountains ranges.  You guessed it, up and around a mountain again! 
There was a large amount of wild animals..deer, turkeys coyotes....  
We were so hoping to see a bear..nope! 

There were quite a few houses still standing from the 1800's!

Thursday we went horse back riding 
 I rode Titus and Steve rode Biscuit! 

and then we went to a Very Memorable drive thru safari..Circle G Safari

After we bought a tray of animal food, we drove over the cattle crossing type gate.
It was a stampede of animals to get to the food....let's just say they had gotten the memo about us being the chuck wagon!!!  The animals were defiantly not afraid to get up close and personal with you!!! 
EMU=UGLY!!! 
RIGHT outside the window!

This is a short video of someone else going through...but it's funny!


The view while driving around
No doubt a beautiful state and area!!!!
