Fall trip

It was a warm fall day so we drove to Norris and walked the songbird trail


a nice trail along the lake with lots of people walking their dogs


Three fishermen followed us


We drove across the dam and took the old road to Cove Lake..




We ate delicious barbeque at the Cove Lake restaurant.


After driving to Big Ridge, I had to take off my shoes and cool my feet.


Big Ridge was warm and the colors were starting to change.
