From the piedmont section of North Carolina, as soon as we could, we left the I-40 freeway and headed west on the Blue Ridge Parkway...
Now, how could we pass by a sign for "Rough Butt Bald"? I can't tell you the exact conversation that followed the giggles when we saw the sign and thought about posting the picture to the blog!
We got out and hiked along the way through the National Park... Joseph usually forging ahead, curious about what might be around each bend.
Thursday morning we headed towards Nashville, but took "The Long Way Home" through Cades Cove... This wild turkey was one of about 40 scavenging in a field by the "Scenic Loop".
