In August of 2005 I drove from Valparaiso to Charlotte, North Carolina, for my friend Ted's wedding. On the way back I stopped in the Smokies for three days. I spent one night in Asheville, North Carolina and two nights in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Part of my reason for visiting the area was for bike riding. As it turned out, the weather did not cooperate and I only got one ride in, although it was fantastic. The atmospheric weather, however, was a dramatic backdrop for my sight-seeing. The Smokies lived up to their name while I was there!
