Blogging from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on my Treo.
We spent most of today inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As if you expected to say otherwise, but the place is stunningly beautiful.
I wasn't aware of this fact, but the Appalachian Trail dissects the park. I was toying with the idea of running on it tomorrow--I ran 10 miles on that other great north-south trail, the Pacific Crest Trail last spring--but hiking just a mile on the rugged Appalachian Trail convinced me that such a run would end up being my last.
We also drove to the highest peak in the park, Clingman's Dome. It's in North Carolina, and that marks my first trip to the state.
