A couple of years ago, Joel and I walked the eleven mile

  
Cades Cove loop.  We probably won’t do  it again…just sayin’.  We LOVE Cades Cove and hang out there a lot when we visit the Smokies.

Today was one of those days. The weather was perfect!

  
We drove about  half a mile past the Missionary Baptist Church and parked.  Our mission was to go for a walk and enjoy our surroundings.  Since Piper was with us, we stayed on the road, because in the National Park, dogs can only go where cars can go.

I’d like to share our journey with you.

  
  
  
  
  
We walked as far as the parking area for the Elijah Oliver cabin, and then walked back to the car. It was only a couple of miles…not far…just far enough 

  
to make you hungry.
