We went to the Smoky Mountains with Wayne and Diann. We had to leave
the state of Georgia and cross the border into North Carolina. We didn’t need
our passports though as Carolina is another American state and is part of the
country called the United States of America.
The great Wallenda (not me) crossed the Gorge on a
tightrope. This is me looking at the poster…
While we were there we saw a wall of crosses made of reeds.
I also met a mountain man drinking moonshine (He wasn’t real and neither was
his moonshine…that’s a strong drink that’s not good for adults, children or
little sheep!)
You
will see that the mountains look as if they are smoking but Kenneth told us
that there is no fire! The trees give off a vapour or mist that looks likes
smoke. Some insects that would damage
the trees do not like the vapour and they stay away. Very interesting. They
are called the Smoky Mountains. I think that sounds better than Vapoury Mountains.
What do you think?
This is me with Diann. She wasn’t scared of the
heights and thought it was really funny that Kenneth and Hannah were scared as they are Scottish
and should be used to mountains. I was
very brave and pretended to be a mountain sheep.
