Yes, but it's been awhile; June '73 to be exact./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
Assuming, of course, you're talking about the one in the west end of the Smokies; only one I know of.

Ah, yes, Hillbilly, I'll never forget that; beautiful place, interesting old log cabin to visit. And I wonder if they still have the exhibition farm. We just spent one night in the campground there; 4 couples sitting around a campfire after the kids went to bed and I was sitting in a lawn chair with my back almost against my motorhome when I noticed a strange expression on the face of a lady directly across the fire from me as she started to get up, and she was looking right at my chair. I glanced down and found that a skunk had come under the motorhome, was right under my chair, looking out to my left. If I'd let my left arm fall of the arm of the chair, I'd have hit him right in the head./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif I immediately told her (and everyone else who was looking by then) to sit still and go with the conversation and let's just don't do anything to antagonize him. And he eventually wandered on off./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif And later that night, there was an albino skunk wandering around the restrooms; only albino skunk we ever came across in our travels.

Bird,
Have you heard of Bramwell,not too far from Princeton WVa?
I have never been there but(I have seen pictures) they say it is a town built by the old coal barrons (millionaires) around the turn of the century,lots of fancy old homes.

I went to Cades Cove about 6-7 years ago. It was really beautiful and serene - not many tourists and you could take as much time as you wanted driving around the loop. Go in the afternoon. At about 6 o'clock the riding stable nearby lets its horses into the pasture that is in the middle of the loop. They are of course happy to be free and run like wild horses, kicking up their heals and chasing each other around - it was an extraordinary sight.

Went there several times. Beautiful place. One time we rented bikes and rode in. It was a very pretty and easy ride until we got to the turn around. I neglected to notice that it is all down hill in and, of course, all up hill out/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. Made for a long afternoon.

Yep, we've passed through there on US-52, but never stopped to see much. In fact, on quite a long stretch through there, there just aren't many places to get off the road and even stop with a 40' motorhome towing a car./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
