Vacation 2015

Day 3


Quest for wildflowers. We drove out to our favorite trail, at Elkmont, the Little River Trail. It follows the river for miles, very scenic and peaceful. We found a few trillium, checked out the old cabins there, and of course as we got out about 2 miles the rain started. I had rummaged around in the basement before our trip and found these old Dollywood rain ponchos, which we took hiking. As the rain started, I put on one which came to my knees and did a good job covering my camera and me, then I looked over at Buddy - he obviously got the kid-sized one from our trip with the grandkids many years ago :)
