A fun day at the park, now some wanders down through the mountains to meet a friend for lunch, then home. Lots of miles in two days, all enjoyable.

Up early this morning and heading into the hills. My brother and his family are in Tennessee, so I’m going to join the nieces at Dollywood. Wish me luck.
