Winter Excursion 2, Day 163

We explored the Cherokee National Forest today. It was a fun drive with some beautiful scenery. The weather was perfect. We drove Rt 421, better know to locals as the "Snake", as it has many, many switchbacks and hairpin turns.

The lake is nice, clean, and full of fish.

This is one of the overlooks we stopped at.

Another view.

This stream is full of native trout. I sure wanted to get the fly rod out!

Here's a  public boat launch. What a view!

This hot dog joint is in Bristol, TN.

Bristol is getting ready for the NASCAR race this weekend.

It is an old town.

We drove Rt 321 on the way home and went through the town of Mountain City. We were in three states today; TN, VA, & NC.
Back at camp we had an all afternoon and evening campfire, a few toddies, and a nice dinner. Tomorrow is pack-up day.
