The OHR Gang headed east to the Smokies again this past weekend, enjoying a beautiful weekend of fall weather with OHR Gang in Training.....Chris, Jim, Mandy and Adam!
We stayed at the KOA in Townsend, self proclaimed "Quiet Side of the Smokies". Townsend is definitely quieter than nearby Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Not much going on in this town! Our campsite was right along the Little River about 2/10 of a mile from the border of the GSMNP. Awesome!
We spent Saturday afternoon at nearby Tuckaleechee Caverns, becoming spelunkers! Well, sort of.
We saw some cool cave formations and underground waterfalls.
One of the neatest things about the tour was the underground river which flows at a minimum rate of 900 gallons per minute....and usually much more! And this is Spring Water! 99% pure in fact...and really tasty!
After caving, we headed back to the campsite and sat on our riverfront deck. We enjoyed beer, had a fire, and grilled Sahlens hotdogs and chicken.
I wish everyone could have joined us...we had such a nice time! And like any good camping day, we ended it with smores around the campfire. Sorry...no pics of that. We were too busy eatin'!
