Just so you know we're not totally obsessed with the house, we do have lives here in NC. Last Sunday we took off for Clingman's Dome near Cherokee, based on an article in a local paper. The drive was very nice. But when we got there, the area was closed still for the season (closed 1 December - 31 March). Would have been nice if the article mentioned something about the off-season closure. Luckily all was not lost: we went just a little further and found New Found Gap. There is a nice area to walk around here, and it was right on the NC-TN border. The whole trip we told Briggs were "going to Tennessee." When we got here and showed him a sign placed on the border, we pointed across the valley (to the TN side) and said, "there's Tennessee." Briggs said, "where's the tennis?" Honest to God! The picture of the valley above is looking back into NC at US 441. We also stopped at Mingus Mill on the way down, and the period farm, all located on US 441 near Cherokee. They were nice, but a visit during late spring and or summer will also be nice.

Hey, Briggs, my brother thought the "Tennessee Waltz" was the Tennis Shoe Waltz. Don't take any abuse from anybody!
