Well, you’ve seen some of what we do and where we go when we come to the Smokies, but I’m not sure that you’ve seen where we stay.

We stay in this house on Wear Road in Wear Valley that we rent  through a place called Moose Creek Crossing. We enjoy the house, but more than that, we enjoy its location.  Not more than a half mile from it is Wear Valley Road.  Two miles in length, it takes you over Cove Mountain and into the park at Metcalf Bottoms picnic area.  That way we avoid all the tourist traps and the traffic.

If we want to just relax at the house, this is the view from the front porch. Pretty neat, huh?

Tomorrow we say goodbye to our home away from home…but not for long.  We’ll be back in March.
