Marble NC, Visit with Ron and Mary,Pigeon Forge,TN
















We visited with an old friend and his wife, Ron and Mary Corchnoy. They have a beautiful home in Copperhill,TN. Copperhill is at the corner of NC, TN and GA. The area is absolutely amazing, with mountains,great landscape and interesting small towns. They took us to many of the areas high points, one being the site of the 1996 summer Olympics,where the white water rafting was held. What a hoot..those who know me well, know how afraid of hieghts I am,well see the picture of us walking across the suspension bridge!!!!!!!!! Mike and I moved on to Pigeon Forge,TN yesterday,and spent today touring the area. We drove to The Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and drove Cades Cove. An 11 mile loop, through magnificent scenery, waterways and unfortunately no Black Bears..yes I wanted to see a Black Bear,okay not actually commune with one,just sort of wave and keep going..:). on to Gaitlinburg to see the town and back through the Park to Pigeon Forge. Pigeon Forge,reminds me of a cross between Wildwood,NJ and Orlando,FL on steroids...However, a good stop for a few days. Tomorrow Mike, Dusty and I move on to Nashville. Where we hope to meet up with Steve Brello,an old friend of Mike's.
From the road,
Jan and Mike

It was great sharing time with you. Mary and I hope that someday, we, too, can enjoy the "roads" as you do now. Take care, drive safely, and hope we can get together soon.
