Smoky Mt. Nat. Park (June 8)

We took off early and headed up Rt. 129 including the famous "Tail of the Dragon" which is a motor cycle challenge. This is not a route we would choose to drive the motorhome. We planned to fish the Little River near Elkmont Campground, but just as we started to fish, a storm came through and chased us off the water. We stopped at Sugarlands Visitor Center to wait out the storm, then headed back over Newfound Gap. We stopped at the spot on Walker Camp Prong, where we fished last week and Joan managed to catch two nice rainbows while all John could do is watch. We made it back to Trackrock about 9:00 PM after driving 250 miles. We love the Smokies, but will use the southern part more in the future.
