I actually dont have to go far, Im close to WV, and locally there are mines nearby too, and caverns. Im here in the Appalachian Mountain Range, near the Blue Ridge mountains.
I fell in love with the Blue Ridge mountains long ago. I believe they are also referred to as the Smoky Mountains or at least they make up the same mountain range?
Gatlinburg AKA "Gateway to the Smokies" we chose as honeymoon spot, as part of a Tennessee tour coming back through Virginia .. While some time ago it was a much nicer place to be that our hokey built-for-Vancouver Yuppies area
Is Gatlinburg still "dry"? Of course one does what what one wants in their hotel room (you can add whatever connotations to that you wish)
Also prefer the Smokies and ' Blue Ridge Mountains to the Rockies here
I "think", the Smoky Mountains is in Tennessee, but is part of the Appalachian Mountain Range.
I went to Gatlinburg with my Great Aunt a few years back around Christmas time. Its only a few hours from here. We hit the moonshine distilleries lol. Actually, she wants to go back, and we're talking about maybe next week, or before the end of the month.
