9/23 day 20 of East coast trip

Today was another great sun rise. We sit in the living room, reading the local paper and Kathy does the crossword puzzle.

For lunch, Chris drove us across the valley and up McCloud mountain to the restaurant on top. It is at 2700 ft and perched on the ledge overlooking the valley. The views across the valley are magnificent.  In the distance we could see the Smoky Mountains, radio towers in Knoxville and the Cumberland Gap. For more information on the restaurant and lodge, see www.mtcloud.com.

The road up to the restaurant and lodge was a bit treacherous. I certainly would not want to travel it during the winter.

View between the restaurant and lodges. The Smoky Mountains are in the distance.


In the afternoon and evening we watched more football. Lyle and Judy, friends of Chris and Kathy, came over to join us. Lyle is a retired United Airlines pilot and Judy is a retired teacher. They also live in the Deerfield Resort complex. It was a fun evening.
