There's Always Music

| Jam Session |
One of the things we most enjoy about the gatherings of fiberglass trailers that we've attended is the music. Each evening a jam session develops. The music and the musicians are always surprisingly good. Even wandering around the campground one is likely to come across someone playing a tune; occasionally on an instrument never before seen.

The selection of songs varies with the location of the gatherings. Here in the Smokies, the music tended toward Appalachian mountain songs. Since we were in Tennessee, they even threw in a couple Tennessee Ernie Ford songs: Sixteen Tons and Big John. It's fun to try to sing along - although almost none of us can remember all the verses to anything!
If there was a way to get the musicians from the various gatherings together for one grand jam session, the music would be amazing!
Cades Cove

A popular feature of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is Cades Cove. Cades Cove is a broad valley surrounded by mountains. Historic buildings are found along an eleven mile one-way road that encircles the cove. My favorite building in Cades Cove is the grist mill. It is a working mill that is still used to grind corn.

As you might expect, there are also old cabins in Cades Cove.
