Good evening, travel companions. Join me today for a hike through the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, part of the Appalachian mountain range.
I once took a 5-day hike through the Smokies with my cousin and another friend. I've often thought that was one of the best things I ever did.
Unfortunately, MySpace ate my photo album from that trip, and the originals are somewhere on discs in a shoebox in my parents' house across the ocean. (Except the one above, which I had saved elsewhere.)
But that wasn't the only time I went to the Smoky Mountains. I've been a few times with my family and with friends, because it's only a four-hour drive from where I grew up.
So allow me to share with you a few snapshots of this beautiful place taken during another trip. Enjoy!

Bye, see y'all! Have you ever been to the Great Smoky Mountains?
