August 21
Yesterday when Keith rejoined us after dinner he shared with us many pamphlets about things in the area he'd become alerted to, one of which was the Tuckaleechee Caverns. These began with two youngsters in the early fifties who explored the caves with bottle-candles and now it's a tourist spot. We were amazed at how many people were here considering how far out in the middle of nowhere it was. But the tour was spectacular as we climbed down 205 steps (and then back up them) to get deep underground!
Afterwards we stopped at a winery and in spite of saying I wouldn't I couldn't pass up another bottle of wine which was super sweet and tasty. We topped the day off by going out to eat in Gatlinburg at a restaurant that was reviewed with the comment, "If you're going to Gatlinburg you MUST go here."
