Through the Cumberland Gap

We drove north and west from here yesterday and went to The Cumberland Gap National Area. It was a dismal rainy day so mountain views were blocked. Interesting show about the area and significance of the passage. Indians called it the Warrior's Trail as different tribes used it to acess the rich hunting area of Kentucky and try to prevent others from taking it. Of course D.Boone used it also. Returning home a different route, we saw some neat looking shrouds of clouds draping the hills. If pix come out, will post. When we got back, severe weather warnings were up for the area and we watched the skys for a few hours. You know how those funnel clouds gravitate to trailer areas. According to morning news, a couple may have touched down north and west of here. Over to Pigeon Forge and the cleavage of the Smokies today.
