What a fantasic lens. It looks gorgeous there! I went to Elder Mountain, near Chatanooga TN, drove there myself from NE, and I thought the entire area was just breathtaking. You are a lucky man!

My dad used to take us on vacations to that area when I was young. I really enjoyed it. Sadly I have not had the chance to take my family there to enjoy the beauty.

I love Cherokee!!! Thanks for a great lens! Lots of good information here. I had forgotten there was anything much up there but Harrah's! lol Murphy looks absolutely lovely!! I grew up in Pendleton, SC -- about that same size town, I think. A very special way of life, where everybody knows (and cares about) everybody else!

30 years ago, when I lived in Atlanta, I dreamed of living in the NC mountains. Now, I have the pleasure of running my marketing business from a cabin in the mountains a few miles north of Murphy, NC.
Act on your dream!
