Townsend Richmont Inn

In the morning toured downtown Jonesboro then left for Townsend.  Found the B&B late in the afternoon and drove through Cades Cove. Saw 2 black bear and 2 cubs, turkey, and deer.   Ate at the River BBQ

Tuesday we went  back to Cades Cove and hiked to Abrams Falls.  Whew. That took about 5 hours.  THEN we went up Clingman's Dome and almost killed ourselves hiking up 332 feet in 1/2 hour.  But the sites were glorious, a 360 of 5 states.

Tuesday night ate in Gatlinburg at a BBQ place.

Wed we shopped in Gatlinburg and bought some pottery and wooden bowl.  We ate at the local steak house.

Thursday we took another ride through Cades Cove...came back to the room and read.  Went to the Back Porch to eat and found ourselves entertained by Bill Middleton. He was a great singer.
