Cherokee National Forest

Last week when I was in Tennessee for the Hicks Family Reunion  I also did some research for the book that is my current project.  It is set in my home town of Greeneville and is an urban fantasy type with a rural setting.  I wanted to refresh my memory of the Cherokee National Forest where it is in Greene county.  I have an important event to set there.  After we picked up the key for the hall where the reunion was to be held Mom and I drove back through the forest.  Here are some pictures of  that drive.

There will be two more posts from this trip – mountain flowers and areas just outside the National Forest. Until Next Time!

    Wonderful pictures. Early on I noticed the sky changing, preparing for rain. You captured all the right ones to tell the weather story without words.

      Thank you! Yes the sky does change as we go storms topping the ridges in the mountains has always intrigued me, it’s not like watching it roll in like at the beach or on flat land.
