Just a kool shop I enjoy visiting when I’m in he area.
Had a great bike ride today! Cades Cove Trading was so easy to work with for bike rentals and the kids loved the ice cream. Saw lots of bears today, including some yearlings climbing a tree. Highly recommend!
These best bar-b-que we had while going to Cades Cove Loop.
