a joke on the tourists, I think

Mountain Refreshment

There is a little road—Route 32—that goes from the Tennessee side of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park east to the Pigeon River, which forms part of the boundary between North Carolina and Tennessee. Route 32 is 16 miles of constant right-left-right-left curves, first going up, then going down the mountain. The last mile is dirt. It comes to an end here, across the Pigeon River from Mt. Sterling, North Carolina.

I was here on a Sunday.
