For my 30th birthday, my wife and I retraced much of our honeymoon trip. We had a nice stay in North Carolina, and then left for Gatlinburg, Tenn., arriving in the early afternoon. We checked into the hotel, and went out to Cade's Cove. We saw and photographed bear, deer, turkeys and other wildlife. Gatlinburg, for those of you who have never been, is about 4 miles from north end to south end, with about 20 red lights.
Pedestrians have the right of way, in, or out, of crosswalks.
I had been dreaming of eating at this restaurant for the entire trip, and really wanted the lady to tell us to come on in, but I would have left rather than inconvenience them. She assured us they were still seating people, and did not expect to be finished till well after midnight. Happily, we were seated in our favorite booth, overlooking the babbling waters of the Little Pigeon River. I ordered my favorite, the house specialty, prime rib, with saut ed mushrooms, and green beans almandine. I could not sleep.
