This week's question, "Cades Cove is a favorite of many when visiting the Smokies.  Is it a favorite of yours?   What are your other favorite spots to visit?"

  

Last week's question, "Springtime calls for lots of fun outdoor activities, what is your favorite thing to do outdoors in the Smoky Mountains?"

 

Helen writes, "My family and I love to take quite walks in the park, it is fun to watch nature renew itself, little flowers popping out of the ground, little birds singing welcoming spring, trees coming back to life, there is no better place on earth in our opinion to watch the rebirth then in the Great Smoky Mountains."
