Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Manuel made us all breakfast this morning and then we headed out through The Great Smoky Mountains National Park to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN.

We followed the rivers and streams up the mountains.  Beautiful scenery.

This poor guy is having trouble about half way down the Mountains.  The park ranger is assisting him.   On our way back, they had hauled off the RV and the wrecker was loading the truck to be hauled...Hope everything will be okay...

This was on our way back after visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN.

The skies are pretty clear but some dark clouds are in the distance.
