| What a refreshing morning it was. After spending the
night sleeping in my van in a Great Smoky Mountains National campground,
I awoke to see several deer feeding nearby. I could barely make them out
in the predawn darkness. I make my way to Cades Cove filled with
anticipation of what I might experience this day. Being in the cove
before the sun rises is an exhilarating experience for me. I can
remember the first time I visited Cades Cove. I arrived in the darkness
of the morning, not knowing what I would see. When the sun began to
rise, I was still mystified because the fog was so thick I could not see
very far. As the sun and temperature rose, the morning veil began to
reveal the mystery of what was behind it. |
