Cable Mill area in Cades Cove

The Cable Mill area is the largest home place in Cades Cove. The corn meal is here, which I showed with the Copperheads photos, and am not showing with this post.I have always liked this barn, it is real hard to capture a photograph of it without people. (This area is the most crowded on the loop road in Cades Cove due to the restroom facilities, and there is quite a bit here to see.)
They still demonstrate the Sorghum mill here in the fall, but I have never been there when they were using it.
Just another structure in the area.

These are the last of the Labor Day trip to Cades Cove. I think this is a record for me. I have gone through all the photos, they are posted and filed away for later. Now I need to start going back to June's St Pete trip (going again in October) and the July 4th Perry's Water Lilies trip. I just decided to tackle Cades Cove immediately. Hope everybody has enjoyed this trip through this wonderful cove, which is a very small portion of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Maybe it will inspire a trip in this direction. Remember the Smokeys (as us locals call it) is the only national park with no entrance fee, and it is the most visited park.

Leedra, I remember when I visited this area with my husband a few years ago. And I remember not being able to get any photos without people in them around this area. But it sure was a beautiful spot -- a beautiful meadow amongst the forest. I was also so impressed about the GSMNP not collecting an entrance fee. No wonder it is so well visited. A note to Jen -- be sure to go when the leaves are about to change. That's when my husband and I visited and it was so beautiful with the various colors of fall.
