I said it wasn't a easy drive, right?
It was either pouring down rain, windy as all get out, or we were
high on the Newfound Gap Road in the thick fog. The wind was
horrendous and we even heard later that it topped 70 mph. At
one point we were heading down Little River Road toward Cades Cove
and a Park Ranger came whizzing by us heading the opposite direction
with his lights on. Twenty seconds later we, along with two
other vehicles, came screeching to a halt with an 2 foot diameter
dead tree completely across the road. It had fallen between us
and the park ranger. Another guy and I eventually rolled it
off the road. We stopped for a
quick restroom break at the Cades Cove picnic area (shown here) and
enjoyed the wildlife. |
