    That naughty Bob...remember when it was Kilroy (Kilroy was here)? You finally got to Cades Cove...that was interesting to see all the old log-cabin style houses, barns and churches. The Hibachi and sushi looked yummy! You must have saved the cupcakes for later consumption, I figure because that looked like a heap of food!

      One cupcake disappeared I believe the next day, and the other became part of our breakfast on our last full day there, ha ha... recycling!! :P

    Everytime I have seen a bear in Cades Cove has been on one of the shortcut roads. But almost always see deer. Maybe the recent rain kept them from venturing out. Looked like a fun day. My wife also likes ice cream on cold days.

    When I was a teenager we used to ride bikes around the loop, it was a lot of fun. But now theres so many cars I don't think it would be possible.

    • @parodeejay
      @parodeejay  Před 3 lety

      Nice! In the warmer weather, I think they still reserve one day a week just for bikes and pedestrians, which is awesome. No cars allowed!!
