  Saturday was supposed to be very cold and possibly rainy or snowing.   Kenny works out in the cold all week and while he wanted to get out he was not wanting to do a long hike in the cold. We planned something easy and fun instead.   We had not done any hiking in the northern portion of the Cherokee National Forest for many years.  Last time was to Camp Creek Bald.   Today we headed toward Greeneville, Tennessee. First we stopped by Broyle's General Store to check it out.  It was new to us both.   We loved it!  It is a toy land that any kid would love.   They have quality toys. Many old timey toys.   They have bins of penny candy.  They have garden seeds, tools, hats, fertilizers, bug sprays, 

animal feed, home decoration. They do not sell basic staple groceries.   It is a fun, old timey atmosphere.  We will bring the grandkids by here for certain.  They were warm and welcoming.  

   It was not crazy busy, but there was quite a buzz while we were there.  Families with kids!

Below is a video of the freight train passing by. I love trains.
