Back in Georgia - with an overnight trip to Tennessee

We finally made it back to Longhollow on Lake Lanier after staying three days in Chattanooga to spend some time with Bill's son Shane and Shane's grandmother Sarah.  I have scheduled wall to wall doctor appointments for both of us, hoping to get them all over quickly.  We are hoping to leave here for Florida shortly after Thanksgiving.

Fall has been beautiful here at Longhollow, as evidenced by the picture above.  That's Bill's Trans Am at the gate.

We took the Trans Am to Knoxville, Tennessee, on Friday, November 5, to see Bill's hair dresser.  We spent that night in Knoxville, then drove through Maryville and Townsend and entered  the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Along the Little River Road we ran into some mixed snow, sleet and rain.  When we reached the Laurel Falls parking area, we saw snow sticking in the trees.  To fortify us for the drive over Newfound Gap, we poked our way into the usual Gatlinburg traffic to find a coffee shop.

The drive through the park across Newfound Gap was spectacular.  About three inches of snow had fallen, adding a beautiful frosting to the Fall colors.  I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
