North Carolina to Kentucky

View from Big Witch Overlook - Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina

Terribly long day - we decided to go ahead and take the slightly longer way to Gatlinburg and get some extra stamps for Bailey's National Park Passport book.  More driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was stunning, of course, a great visit to Oconaluftee Visitor's Center where they had a Mountain Farm museum (original farm buildings which had all been moved to the Visitor's Center to create the museum), then on to Clingman's Dome  - the highest elevation in the Great Smoky Mountains, then to Sugarlands outside of Gatlinburg, the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Pigeon Forge (we did our Tennessee Geocache there), then North to Bardstown, KY.

I'm exhausted, so just pictures tonight...more tomorrow.
