For the 3 people who actually sign on here, I have a few pictures from the Smokies. The cabin view was awesome! These first two are from the cabin:   This one was the only shot of the river I got to take. I stopped at one of the pull-offs on our way back from Cades Cove to Clingman's Dome.  This one was from the parking lot below Clingman's Dome just before a cloud overtook us. (The top was already covered by a cloud.)  And this was taken on the drive back down off the mountain.  |

First off... OMG! Someone actually posted something on here!!!! Second, I am so sorry I wasn't able to make it there with you guys! It looks like you had a great time and the cabin was in a beautiful location! Third, these are really cool shots! I really like the one with the cloud! It gives a sense of, like you said, of being taken over! Very dramatic! I hope you guys had a blast... next time plan for a weekend and I will be able to say for sure I can make it  |

Im actually wanting to plan a trip with you and Nathen for a weekend or so. Sara doesn't want to get in the bushes and risk poison ivy, so I don't think she wants to come. I am in the mood for some hardcore hiking for landscape pictures. It became very apparent to me how out of shape I am in when the half mile hike to the top of clingman's dome actually made my legs hurt afterward! Although I blew past two guys who were cracking jokes at other people's expense and bragging about being marines. (I was in a hurry because they were waiting on me.) For whatever reason they were cracking jokes about me after I passed them as well. Maybe they heard some of Sara's comments about her perception of their sexual orientation earlier when she heard them bragging as they passed by her... Who knows?  |

What do you have in mind and when? Yeah since I have not been going to the gym lately I would hate to think just how bad out of shape I am! Sounds like they had some issues! It's usually the people that like to brag openly that have no right to brag at all LOL |

What do you have in mind and when? I was just thinking of going back to that area for a weekend since it is close. No idea on when though. I guess if I can get a free weekend at the same time as you guys we could plan a small trip for then. I'll have to get in touch with Nathen and see what he thinks. This still doesn't even come close to satisfying my desperate urge to hit the northwest coastline... ;D I want to book enough weddings that I will have some nice gear for a trip like that, haha. |

You know, I'd like to try to catch the fall colors again this year as well. It still kills me that we missed them last year. I wonder what some creek scenes would look like with some vivid yellows and reds instead of greens... |

I wonder what some creek scenes would look like with some vivid yellows and reds instead of greens... I know I want to go somewhere to at least look at the fall colors. Getting to take photos would be a bonus! If I go to the BRP this year I will definitely go earlier and will probably only go for a one day outing. If you want I can holler at you if/when I plan something up? |
