Pigeon Forge Day 3:
Cades Cove

Tuesday morning we woke up early and headed to Cades Cove. The weather was rainy and cool. We only made one loop around the park.

Last week I went on an adventure along with five amazing women to Pigeon Forge, TN and the Great Smoky Mountains.

Saturday morning we left Springfield, MO around 5:00am. I knew later that morning I would be facing one of my biggest fears. The Mississippi and Ohio River confluence bridges. I did drive across the bridges, white knuckling the steering wheel over both. We drove through Kentucky and made it into Tennessee. Just past Nashville we stopped at Burgess Falls State Park. After a short hike the 136ft tall falls were revealed. After a couple of fuel stops we made it Pigeon Forge.

Sunday was a laid back day. We ate lunch at The Old Mill Restaurant. We did some souvenir shopping and I had an appointment at 2:00pm for my first tattoo. The folks at Precision Ink Tattoos were fantastic! I got the classic Sasquatch walking silhouette. After the tattoo we shopped some more. We made it back to the cabin and crashed for the night. All of us were excited for Monday.
