Crystal's T@b Camper

Daisy Fleabane

While the rest of my photography group took naps, I went for my walk along Cedar Creek Road.  What drew me to this road was a wood carving shop that has most of its work outside on display.  There were all kinds of bears, eagles, and assorted seriousness alongside assorted whimsy. 

I parked at a tubing shop that was closed and walked along the road, coming soon to a campground.  Besides the usual RV's parked there, the campground was having a T@b camper meetup.  What darling little campers these are!  Shaped like a teardrop, these vintage-inspired campers come in a variety of colors and have a variety of accessories.  I talked with one woman, who was sitting outside a baseball cap style camper.  Her camper, which was not a T@b, was painted to look like a library, with a pencil for a back bumper.  She told me all about the T@b campers, and I instantly fell in love.  I want to seriously consider one of these for my future!

Serene Meadow

Riverside Dogwood

Continuing down the road, there were homes on both sides of the street, and those on the river side had backyards set up with fishing patios; all you had to do was step outside your back door and fish.  The water in the river was so clear.  It appeared to be less than four feet deep in most spots.

Sasquatch

Wild Ride!

I ended my walk at Captain Dave's Artistry.  The carvings were amazing; most were done right there on the property, with a chain saw.  Someone obviously had a sense of humor, judging by the various faces and poses on the bears and Sasquatch.

This walk was full of fun and whimsical things to see.  I definitely want to come back to the Smokies.

Privacy, please!
