Cades Cove Trip

Recently, I had planned to visit Prov­i­dence Canyon for an overnight back­pack­ing trip by myself. It didn’t hap­pen. I learned a friend was headed up to Cades Cove in Ten­nessee about the same time as my trip and was asked to join. I had never been there so fig­ured it would be a wor­thy adventure.

The plan was three day visit and we would camp out for two nights in their camp­ground area. We would be able to bring as much gear as needed since we would be park­ing next to our tent area which can make it eas­ier when choos­ing what to bring.
