Future Trips
It is Pumpkin Spice Season in East Tennessee even if the weather is 90s all week! It is a brisk 88 degrees presently! I have dragged out the Fall decorations and been putting them out this evening. I had my first cup of pumpkin spice coffee this morning!
Kenny booked our Fall Foliage train ride on the Hiwassee Loop for Oct. 18th.
One of the decisions Kenny and I made last Fall was we are NOT going to the beach for Fall break for the 2026 season. We felt we missed too much leaf color and the other seasonal fun we enjoy by being at the beach. Plus we've worn out PCB lately. I am very much looking forward to lovely Autumn colors and all that goes with this season.
Kenny and I think we'll try to take a final camping trip end of October to the Cherohala Skyway to see some waterfalls, do some hiking, Fall colors, late Fall flowers. Maybe check out a few businesses in Tellico Plains or Murphy.
