Whigg Meadow

This weekend we camped out at Indian Boundary in the overflow area. After spending a cold night (toasty in the sleeping bag) we headed up the Cherohala Skyway to Whigg Meadow. We hiked to the meadow from Mud Gap (a part of the Benton McKaye trail) down the road a bit to the site of a 1945ish military plane crash. We were able to see only a few parts since the plane had been bull dozed since it went down during WWII.

Chilhowee Lake Sunday

One of our new favorite family activities is to load up the car and head to Chilhowee Lake on Sunday mornings. Why? To fish? To canoe?
No, so the kids can throw rocks in the lake. Hours of satisfaction!
