file under "great places"

cades cove: oh my, i know the first white farmer types that saw it nearly wet themselves --- what a magnificent place --- most of the old homesteads are gone now, but the magnificent agricultural landscape is still there --- plus three little white churches, primitive baptist, missionary baptist, and methodist, all with the same belvedere cum steeple

there is a wonderful loop road around the cove, which must be absolute torture in the summer, since here in early spring, and in spite of the numerous signs about showing courtesy and using the many, many pull-offs, people would rather die than do that and so its 10-15 mph for the last half of the loop --- in spite of that, i do not hate cades covef
