A good time had by all.
Our trip to cades cove was the best of both worlds for me. A good bicycle ride around the cove with some geocaching on the trip up there. I just found 4 caches, not the big numbers like some folks try to do on a trip like that. I was just taking brakes on the way. Mid afternoon I got to the camp ground and checked in a few minutes before Allen and Robert arrived. We had a good time camping over night. Went the Ranger Program about hiking in the Smokey back country. We then built a super campfire and set around it shooting the bull. Wed. morning had a early breakfast and was on the bicycles by seven o'clock. Man there were deer all over. They would walk up to your camp.Allen took alot of deer pictures. I am making a come back after my battle with my health problems
early this year. I am very happy with myself the way I rode this 11 mile mountain ride.

On the way home Wed. afternoon I seen a old guy setting under a tree whittling on a hiking stick, with a forsale sale sign for his sticks. I turn around a went back, and had a nice visit with him, and had to have one of his sticks. It was great talking with him.

I need more trips like this.
