Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: July 2012
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Gene was searching through the guidebook for a hike to do on Monday. With the heat of summer it is hard to find something suitable that isn’t at high elevation. When he came upon what the guidebook suggests as one of the finest hikes in the Smokies, how could we pass that up? Just past this last creek crossing, we came to backcountry campsite 12. If you were backpacking ...

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: The Road to Full-Timing
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/p/road-to-full-timing.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. The Road to Full-Timing. We love to travel; who doesn’t? The thought of going to a National Park like Yellowstone, Yosemite, or the Great Smoky Mountains and stay a month hiking and exploring was intoxicating. Figuring out a way to make that happen took hours upon hours of discussion. We bought a larger tent, we bought cots, we bought a dining canopy, we bought a BIG cooler, and we bought a minivan...

http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/2012/09/west-prong-trail-reopened.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Friday, September 21, 2012. West Prong Trail Reopened. This log is going to be a nice resting log for a long time to come. It was a good day for hot tea with lunch. At 27 miles West Prong Trail ends at the junction with Bote Mountain Trail. Going right at this junction would take us 1.2 miles to Laurel Creek Road which would be a nice 8-mile hike. We opted to go left for just three-tent...Love your...

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: A Round On The Maryville Greenway
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-round-on-maryville-greenway.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Sunday, September 9, 2012. A Round On The Maryville Greenway. Some days there seems to be more to do than we can get done, certainly more than we can get done and also got for a hike. But on those days we still want to get a little exercise so we choose the Maryville Greenway. For our most recent walk, we started at Sandy Springs Park and walked to the end of the Greenway at Foothills School. T...

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Doug and Cheryl arrived Sunday afternoon just shortly before the rain moved in. But, we weren’t going to let a little rain get in our way. Monday morning, bright and early (well, not so bright with all the clouds), we loaded in the car for a tour of Maryville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, the northwest side of the National Park, and Townsend. We spent most of our time insi...

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Take a look if you’re interested. It has a much more complete story of Mayna Avent and some wonderful photos taken inside the cabin. After exploring the cabin and the area surrounding it, we returned to the main trail and continued our trek downhill to the car. That’s all for now. Thanks for tagging along.

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: Home Base
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/p/home-base.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. After six and a half years of living full-time in an RV we made the change to what we like to call a “home base”. We bought a condo in Maryville, Tennessee. Why give up the full-time RV lifestyle? Why a condo instead of a house? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Our Home away from Home. Backpacking with Tipi Walter. Hiking The High Country. Smoky Mountain Hiking Blog.

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: Rocky Top
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/2012/09/rocky-top.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Monday, September 24, 2012. Rocky Top- not the song, but the place. The trail junction sign at Bote Mountain was a welcome site and we quickly threw off our packs and had a seat on the ground for a short break. Our destination is the peak in the middle, but first this. Little bump straight ahead. Thunderhead is just a short distance away, but we chose to sit on Rocky Top and rest our weary bones.

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: On Top of Tennessee
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/2012/09/on-top-of-tennessee.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Sunday, September 2, 2012. On Top of Tennessee. With temperatures once again near 90 degrees, we decided to head for the top for our hike on Monday. We had a great weather forecast of clear skies all day, so we were hoping for that illusive view. From the tower, we headed north on the AT. Naturally, since Clingman’s Dome is the highest point in the state, we started out going downhill....Nice ph...

Blue Roads to Hiking Trails: Turkeypen Ridge Trail
http://blueroadstohikingtrails.blogspot.com/2012/09/turkeypen-ridge-trail.html
Blue Roads to Hiking Trails. Roadtripping with Gene and Judi. The Road to Full-Timing. Living in a Class C. Friday, September 7, 2012. After a weekend of consuming an abundance of food and drink at the family reunion, we were more than ready for a day on the trail. It always feels so good to breath fresh air, stretch our legs, work those muscles, and sweat out some of those impurities we’ve dumped into our bodies. There are still a few folks out enjoying the Park. We descended from the ridge to the junct...
