When I drove through the Smoky Mountain National Park 10 days ago, the spring weather was warm and lots of trees were blooming.
At the higher elevations I also found ice on the rock walls beside the road.
I never saw any smoke in the Great Smoky Mountains. I was told I was a day late and the atmosphere was too dry - but a few days before, 'smoke' (mist) was everywhere.
I did find "blue" though on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The mountains are beautiful!
