We're off! We headed north through Georgia into North Carolina. First stop was The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The montains are covered in this strange mist which looks like smoke. It's quite eerie. We camped in the north of the park in Tennessee. It was an awesome campsite beside some river rapids. Next morning I had a bath in the river then we hiked up to a beautiful waterfall called Grotto Falls. You can walk behind the waterfall in the cave which is pretty cool. Just north of the park is the town of Gatlinburg. We spotted 'Cooters in the Smokies' which is owned by the bloke who played Cooter in The Dukes of Hazzard - the greatest TV show of the early 80's. We had to check it out and it had tons of cool memorablia from the show. We then drove north east along I81 through Virginia. After Cooters it only seemed right to get in and out of the car via the window.
