3/16/17: TN: Obed Wild & Scenic River and Big South Fork Natl Rec Area

Woke up Around 2am and headed to TN through The amazing Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountainsfrom NC on 95N where the temperatures got down to a low of 25 degrees…yes, nippy! Nice and warm in the car, though, while driving. TN Visitor Center set up like a nice TN cabin with rocking chairs on the porch-see pic. It finally got up to about 46 degrees and the sunshine feels good. Obed’s video was delightful, but since I’m not a kayak person anyway, I didn’t hike down to the river, which is stunningly clear and turquoise in color. I camp tonight at Big South Fork NRA after I watch the sun set over the gorge. Believing the gorge will be gorgeous, just as each of you are!
