We were down there in September. We decided to do Clingman's Done instead. Really cool. The have a souvenir shop that is a Fed building. Let me see if I can find the thread about that area of TN.
Here it is. https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/break-room/452851-things-do-gatlinburg.html
No, it’s not, just the gift shop at the foot of the trail.We are hitting clingmans dome on friday
Would the tower be a GFZ?
I got charged by a bear at Cades Cove....Wife wanted better pics, 100 people around, they said the sow was nowhere near the cubs...They'd been there an hour with no sign of her....A local standing there heard the exchange and said, "I'll go with you..."He and I crept into the patch, got within 10 yards of the cubs, took two or three pics when she jumped up about 15 yards from us...She had been sleeping in the berry patch....When she charged the other people surrounding the patch scattered and that took the focus off of me.....
One other time a bear was in a cherry tree overhanging the road...Two park rangers were there rushing us through that spot...that limb was tiny and that sow was determined to get those last cherries on that branch....Sun roof open...Wife got two great pics as we went under it...Those rangers were nervous as hell there was going to be an incident.....
