Day 180 Sept 25th

We rode from Gatlinburg to Rock Creek Park in Erwin TN today. My wife was born here and spent early childhood years here. Jerry moved here in his early childhood and spent hid late childhood years here. Rock Creek is a beautiful NFS campground in the Cherokee NF. We will be camping here for next few weeks hiking and riding the mountain roads of east TN and western NC.
The ride from Gatlinburg to here on the back roads is fantastic.
The NFS was draining the swimming hole when we got here and catching the trout that had been put in the swimming hole a few weeks ago for a kids fishing day. Lots of big rainbow trout.
Really feeling like we are back on home turf now as we have camped here for many years. Jerry's sister and her husband were setup camping here when we arrived. they live nearby and take advantage of this place quite a bit.
126 great miles today.
