Thanks Captain Don, we wil be on early june boat. can't Wait!

i agree with Jerry. we were there in 2010 and the cow and twins was so amazing to watch, we stayed there 3 days just watching them every day and going to the ranger programs at night.

Hello Brewer bob, hope your adventure was what you had anticipated it to be. I wanted to tell you I have also hiked the island and the smokies. I hiked up over mt.

I have been in dock areas on the island and been sitting on the dock sunset watching, and totally gotten snubbe...

I always bring 2 poles. Many different uses if not for walking, we have used them to suport a tarp in shelters when storms blow up, have to use your imagination but it works! It is also nice to have them for walking where it is slippery or very muddy. I use simple walmart trekking poles from the cam...
