It is hot here, hot and humid. Also, it is very green, every nook and cranny green outside of the cities. Driving down the highway it is green on the left, green on the right, green up ahead and green behind. The hills are green, the flats are green, man, it is green in Tennesee! We are crossing TN from the NE corner to the SW corner, 500 miles of green.
Jack and I hiked the Burgess Falls State Park trail this afternoon. It is a shady trail along the rain swollen Falling Water River. The river today was light brown, probably from all the recent runoff from the prodigious amount of rain this area of TN received the first couple of days of this week. Today was blue sky and hot but under the trees and next to the misting falls it was a comfortable hike, a short hike over a rooty, rocky trail on a low bluff over the raging water.
I was born in Knoxville, TN. Grew up playing with my dollies on the rocks in the water in the Great Smokies on weekend camping trips. My Grandmother sold caned chairs on the hwy. during the depression with her 12 brothers and sisters, she made 13!A lot of my family lives there and that is why I love Oregon, they are much alike.Enjoy!
