Good Morning Y'all!
It's Friday! It's HAPPY FRIDAY to ya!
I'm giving a test today on Genre and Sub-genre so while I'm waiting on my students to get finished, I began thinking of the one single place I'd rather be. I love being where I am right now, but...IF I could choose another place, I'd pick Cade's Cove.
Cade's Cove is located in The Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It's a very old community from the 1800s. Some houses are still standing. Some of the old churches are still there and are actually operational at times.
There's a running mill and grist mill as well.
I went there while my husband and I were on our honeymoon way back in 1994. We visited there again on our "One Year Anniversary" trip in 1995. We went there on a visit when Robbie was about 2-3 years old. I could go one time a year and it still wouldn't be enough!
It's a little one lane road that winds all around the community. You can drive in your vehicle, ride bikes, walk it, whatever. Just make sure you take it all in while you're there!
It is absolutely beautiful.
There's so much history there that so many people know nothing about.
How many novels or short stories are waiting to be written with this place as it's setting?
Ahhh....what I wouldn't give for some good ol' Mountain Air running through my lungs right about now.

We've been to Tennessee a couple of times but have never visited Cade's Cove. Looks like a great place to visit. Glad I'm not having to take your test cause I don't even know what you're talking about! :-)
