Sorry about the misunderstanding, but how was the bourbon? Where you able to drive thru the Smokey Mnt N P
psi,
if you've never done the bourbon trail...DO IT...I've enjoyed bourbon for years and after the first 2 days and ~9 distilleries...I have learned stuff about bourbon and distilleries that I would have never learned...this is a highly recommended trip/outing even for non bourbon drinkers.
Tomorrow is for Jim Beam, Makers Mark and Limestone Branch.
Also the town of Bardstown is a neat place all to itself worth the visit as well.
Apparently the limestone rich water here is what makes the mash so special...
FWIW...I've got hundreds of dollars of bourbon on the bus...LOL...
As far as Smoky Mtn NP...yes...we were able to drive through is about all...the park rangers wouldn't let you in areas but were on duty to STOP YOU...go figure...our tax dollars at work...but it isn't their fault...sadly our legislators should have been forced to work the NP's to answer to their constituants and Obama should have been there too since he is part of the problem instead of being the leader he needs to be like Clinton and Reagan did when they had to deal with this...
Joe.
