Well, I did take pictures but didn't blog about the trip in a timely manner. Sorry.
Here are some of the pictures:

I am woman hear me roar! I put it up all by myself.
After putting up the tents we found a little problem. My friends' air mattress had a leak. Their pump had to be plugged in and our bathroom facilities had no outlet :-( So we had to take it to the ranger's station. It wouldn't fit in the car on the way back so we had to get creative.

| Fortunately, it was less than a mile walk. |
We also found out that I had forgotten my food bag back and the house. My friends said they would share but, they forgot their's as well. The people who were joining us from GA fortunately had packed plenty and we had alot of group meals.

Hots and beans are a classic

Some friends of friends and children of friends joined us to watch the amazing fireflies. I couldn't take a picture of the fireflies but trust me they were AMAZING!!
 |
| Had a great time around the campfire. |
They next day my friend showed up to take me to Dollywood and Splash Country. Unfortunately, she only knew that I was at Elkmont campground. She drove around the whole area to find me. She is a TRUE BLUE friend. I was resigned that she wouldn't find me but she did. I was glad too. I just couldn't hike anymore.

| Loyal friends are a treasure. |
The last evening one of the campers played the Dulicmer and gave us acupuncture to help up relax.

| Beautiful music for a beautiful night |
