well, i survived! we had such a bonding wonderful time getting bit by random bugs and playin' in various creek spots. we thought we would never find a camping spot as they were almost all filled up,and we got there around 2pm,so we learned our lesson! we prayed and God got us the perfect lil' set up.we had driven an hour just trying to locate the perfect spot and when we got it all the girls were saying thank you God! i think maybe more outta pure exhaustion than reverence! naa,i really believe they meant it! tom put up the tent while we played in the gorgeous river. tom built a fire and we enjoyed it all of 20 minutes and a monsoon came! at least we got to play a while and get dinner in. we went to sleep and in the middle of the night we see headlights shining in our tent.the park wranger shows up.well,at first we didnt know who it was,and i asked tom,you got the gun?he's like ya,i'm like,get it ready! then we hear-forest service,can you step outta your tent? so we almost got a $75 ticket for not properly storing our food and trash.they transfer problem bears of the smokies to this area.we knew better,but the rain came and we slacked.
our neighbor campers felt sorry for us cause it POURED and put out our fire and the next morn we had no wood to cook breakfast,so they brought over some firewood for us.they were real sweet to do that. they were even gonna start the fire. They really thought we had never been camping b4,which is so funny to me cause tom has done it a thousand times! we didnt want to start a fire that morn cause we had decided we werent going to stay another night,but cause of their kindnes tom went ahead and started one.we made smores in the morn! thats a first!
