Clinton, TN

This morning we left Fair Play, SC under sunny skies traveling north on Rt. 11 the same Rt. we were on yesterday. At Walhalla we turned onto Rt. 28 starting into the Appalachian Mountains. After winding a few miles we then headed north on Rt. 107 winding our way further into the mountains of SC & NC until we intersected US 441 a few miles south of Cherokee, NC. We continued to see many beautiful Bougainvillea bushes in full bloom and the higher we got the trees were just budding out. After stopping at the Smokey Mountain National Park visitor center we decided to go on as it was starting to rain. As we drove in rain we enjoyed seeing wisteria starting to bloom along the roadside. In spite of the rain the fog made for a very scenic drive over the mountains. Arriving at Gatlinburg, TN on the other side of Smokey Mtns. the the rain had stopped. It was on through Pigeon Forge, TN then a few miles north of Pigeon Forge we turned west on I-40 to Knoxville and then north on I-75 to Clinton TN where we stopped for the night at Fox Inn RV Park.
