Made it back home in one piece with no battlescars on the MH. Cades cove loop was a little close in a few places, but had asked a ranger before driving it. He said occasionally there is a tour bus that goes through, while raising his eyebrows a little. The only problem we had was at a bear jam where everyone just parked along the road and there wasn't enough room for me to get through. Just sat there and watched the bears. But what was more entertaining was watching the people go nuts over seeing a bear :R . Then we hit US441 through the park to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wow, there are some nasty pulls and downgrades on the southern part. Stopped at MT Mitchell. Got off the parkway at Linville Falls-DW needed hookups for a couple days-was tired of the generator and needed a long hot shower. Stayed at Linville Falls CG, just off the parkway. Have to give them a plug. Would definitely stay there again!! Bathrooms were nicer and cleaner than the ones in my house-and DW is a clean freak! Great place to stay! Back on the parkway, next night camped beside Chris & Dave(?) fulltimers from Massachusettes. Loved hearing their story. Then back up the parkway toward home. Spent the night at Rocky Gap SP in Maryland and listened to the rain, bad storms all around but slept great. Gary
