22 miles down the highway the tow truck's transmission blew up! Now we are waiting for 2 tow trucks, one for me and one for the first tow truck. Waited 3 hours!!!!!
loaded the Hummer on the second tow truck and started toward Memphis 170 miles, the closest Hummer dealer. After waiting so long for the second tow truck, I arrived after the shop had closed and had to get a hotel room and wait till the next morning to find out the problem. Hummer needed complete new head, valve spring and valve had broken loose, took 3 days to complete but it was all under warranty. Jay at Crest Hummer in Nashville and all the staff were fantastic to me!

GREAT SMOKEY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
GREAT SMOKEY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
it was good to be back in the park even if I only had a day and half left.
Since Christine now lives and works in the Smokies she
found a way to connect 4 trails and we did about 30 miles
Trail was beautiful as usual and even though it was a week till Memorial Day, not a soul on our trail.
Woodland Nymph music speaks to Christine
The music moves me, but it moves me UGLY!
moving smartly up the trail, it was all up hill most of the first day. The calves are already bulging.
The smokies were earning their name all weekend
The Flora and the Fauna is always so varied, great and small, there is so much to see if you pay attention
After a long first day, soaking the feet in Deep Creek feels fantastic
Deep Creek was both deep and fast
Perfect campsite right by the water, a few bees in the beginning of the evening, but they were only interested in our sweat not us.
A perfect Christine fire
Next day, woke to rain, the trail was very misty
Wet but fun
Really wet, but more fun
Finished... can I turn around and go back!
