Great Smokey Mountain Part 2

Coffee climbing around on the rocks and kind of asking for help here.  Got herself in a pickle.



The Great Smokey Mountains


This is a view from the road.  It was a rainy day with lots of clouds.
Grist Mill in the Smokey Mountains started in the late 1800's.  Still a working mill.  They were milling corn.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a product of the New Deal’s efforts to provide jobs to the unemployed of the Great Depression. Construction began in September 1935 at Cumberland Knob near the North Carolina and Virginia state line.   The idea was to create a link between the Shenandoah National Park to the edge of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Finally completed in 1983.
