Kindness and Sweet Tea. The title of my story are the words my family and I kept repeating during our recent 10-day visit to Tennessee. I am born and raised a “Southern California girl” and love to venture out into the United States to see what different states have to offer. While visiting TN, I was bombarded by the kindness of the local residents we met/encountered during our stay. I left my camera behind at… Read More

We parked in Cades Cove Campsite with our Trailways Bus and were waiting for supper to be cooked by our Y-leaders when the boy next to me punched me and said he saw a large rock move. As his story spread we just thought he was seeing things until – yes –the hills were alive. Four… Read More

They can’t do enough for you. Unlike in the UK, nothing is too much trouble and service is done with a smile and not a grunt as in the UK. Being a… Read More

By 12:30 I was in Cookville where I stopped for gas and a short rest, then decided I would head north and find… Read More
