Whitecaps in Gatlinburg, and new pictures

We made it! We got home (to North Carolina) tonight and just got unpacked. We had to pack in the heavy rain this morning. It took 3 hours, because we had so much 'old' stuff from All Decked Out to bring home. We finally left about 1:30 pm. When we got down the mountain, we couldn't believe how high the Little Pigeon River was. So we drove into town to see what it looked like. Have you ever seen it this high?


This is just as you come off the parkway from the north, just before you enter Gatlinburg. We drove down to the Aquarium and found a tree had fallen across the walk bridge.


But the town had guys working to get it cleaned up.


Just past the Aquarium, this is the bridge by Jose's Cantina. See what we mean by 'whitecaps?'


A little farther down River Road, this was the scene.


That's a lot of rain! Now, we are very tired. But I promised you pictures of All Decked Out. I'm just going to give you a view of the main floor room and the lower level family room. Tomorrow, I'll post more, plus lots more on our Web site.

Here's the way the main floor living/dining room used to look.


And here's how it looks now!


Now, here's the family room previously:


And here is the 'new' family room:


Yes, that's a TV and DVD player mounted in the corner. More will be coming, as soon as I can. But, based on seeing just this little bit, any comments?
