Back in the middle of April, we went on a time-share boondoggle where we got three nights lodging in Gatlinburg, TN, in exchange for listening to a two-hour pitch (which actually lasted three hours). We did not buy. But, we really enjoyed Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We had not been in the park very much, and not at all since 1981. We caught the wildflowers at what looked like their peak. Also got to see some black bears and some black blobs that others said were bears. The two water falls we walked to were Grotto Falls and Laurel Falls. Lots of wildflowers on both walks. We also did the requisite drive around Cade's Cove.
