The rain fell in torrents here in the North Georgia Piedmont for the last two days. Nearly six inches here at the house. The moisture has met to satisfy even the most skeptical of agronomists. 

Lots of flooding in Kentucky around Mammoth Cave National Park. 

A quick note about Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Starting today, the park will close the Cade's Cove loop to motorized traffic and reserve the entire eleven-mile loop for walkers and bicyclists. Park only in designated spots. Each Wednesday for the rest of the summer.

On April 17, 2021, after we left GSMNP through Cherokee, North Carolina, we stopped in Bryson City for a nice lunch at the Everett Street Diner. Highly recommend. Back across the bridge, there is Calby's Collectibles and Antiques, and for used books, go poke around in Friends of the Marianna Black Library Used Book Store.

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.
