We drove to Gatlinburg on Memorial Day afternoon to miss the crowds. We checked in to the Riverside and ate supper across the street at the Italian restaurant. We got to Elkmont in time to set up our chairs at the Elkmont cemetery. At sundown we saw the firefly show. It was spectacular!! beautiful flashing patterns on and off all night. If they got close to our faces, it was like a flash-bulb going off! We stayed until 11:30 and then went back to the hotel . We ate breakfast at the Pancake Pantry and then toured the Cove. We did a short hike up the Abrams Falls trail.We had a picnic supper in the Cades Cove Picnic area with the squirrels. It was a fantastac...wonderful...very good day..!!Thanks to the Frenches for making it possible!!
