We are in North Carolina!! The Smokey Mountains & Pigeon River are gorgeous!! There was a whitewater rafting company & I wanted to go rafting!! Maybe on another trip. Mike said we can on our way home instead of going to New York. Not! Anyway, even if we did go home the same route, we would have to find another road through here because the 40 west was backed way up due to rock slide construction and we wouldn't want to get stuck in that!
