10 things to see and do in the Smokies

1. The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, just outside Gatlinburg, Tenn., offers an amazing variety along this six-mile, one-lane road. Several preserved farmsteads including cabins and a streamside tub mill are on display. Numbered pulloff areas offer scenic views and an auto tour booklet describes the area in detail. Take a hike to Grotto Falls where the water tumbles over a rock formation wide enough to allow hikers to walk behind the falls. Even on a rainy day, the Motor Nature Trail is a delight. 2. The Oconaluftee Farmstead in North Carolina is home to the park's newest visitor center, which showcases the progression of the area from prehistoric times to pioneer days to the creation of the national park. Visitors can explore the Mountain Farm Museum, which features a barn, farmhouse and working blacksmith shop along with artifacts like farm tools and a whiskey still. Nearby, the Oconaluftee River Trail and the Mingus Creek Trail are short, easy hikes. Be sure to pick up a Junior Ranger booklet at the visitor center. Kids complete the activities then return the booklet to receive a Junior Ranger badge. 3. The Cosby area, in the northeastern part of the park, offers some of the best family activities far from the crowds of Gatlinburg, Tenn. In the spring, locals flock to Cosby for its colorful carpets of wildflowers. Hiking trails range from the easy Cosby Nature Trail to the strenuous Mount Cammerer, where autumn foliage puts on a spectacular display. The popular Hen Wallow Falls is just two miles from the Cosby picnic area, where spots are readily available for outdoor dining. The campground is rarely full, and children enjoy splashing in the streams while fishermen are often spotted setting the hook on native trout. 4. The Deep Creek area on the North Carolina side offers some spectacular waterfall hikes that are easily accessible for children and is also one of the few places where biking on trails is allowed. The loop hikes include Juney Whank Falls, Three Waterfalls Loop and Deep Creek-Indian Creek Loop. Both tent and RV camping are available April through October. 5. Back on the Tennessee side, Metcalf Bottoms picnic area is one of the most popular picnic spots in the park thanks to its prime location on the banks of the Little River. The 165 picnic sites are available year round. Take a refreshing dip in the cold mountain waters or a leisurely tube ride downstream. A short hike through the woods leads to the Little Greenbrier Schoolhouse, which looks much as it did back in the 1930s. A mile beyond the schoolhouse is the Walker Sisters cabin, the old homestead of five sisters who initially refused to sell their land to the government. 6. The Appalachian Trail crisscrosses the North Carolina/Tennessee line at Newfound Gap. One of the trail's most beautiful sections runs south from here through beech gaps and a spruce-fir forest to Indian Gap. This high-elevation trek, reaching more than 5,000 feet, is a moderate walk with stunning views. While most people will never walk all of the AT's 2,200 miles, this portion is never crowded and well worth exploring.

While Joe was washing the awning, it tore and  snapped off completely from the roof. It had a slight tear on the edge, which Joe had mended with awning tape. Mallery and I were sitting right below inside, when it snapped. Mallery jumped out of her skin. A couple of neighbors came running over to see if everything was OK, because of the racket.
