Oh, we are so blessed! A friend's friends let us stay in their amazing cabin in the mountains over a long weekend in June. We cycled around Cades Cove, tubed down two rivers, ate lunch with other friends, ate at amazing restaurants and relaxed in the cool, verdant beauty of a mountain cabin. Our friends, the F's, stayed in a hotel nearby.

| Along the way |
 |
| Gobble-gobble! |
 |
| Spectacular valley views. |
 |
| Showing us how they made baskets in the old days. |
 |
| Oopseys! A bicycle accident! |
 |
| Uh-oh lady, did you see that sign to the right?! She was conscious but concussed. Taken out first by ambulance, then helicopter. I pray she's all right now! |
 |
| Lunch with friends in Walland |
 |
| Picnic supper by the river and some tubing there. |
 |
| We went down the Little River twice. It was rather low for comfort but manageable. |
 |
| Going for a hike on Monday. Someone else saw a rattlesnake on the path....not us! |
 |
| The children played in the water by some cascades. |
 |
| A pristine little waterfall along the way. |
 |
| Some of the many rhododendrons blooming everywhere! What was surprising to me was to see them in full bloom! I thought they'd have been done blooming by April or May! |
 |
| Ghostly green pinchers coming out to get you! |
And that was the end of a magical weekend in the Smokeys! We had an awesome and unforgettable time! Thanks bou-quos to the Cs for the use of your amazing cabin!
