Cherokee County, NC is a wonderful place to visit
Cherokee County is located in the far southwest corner of North Carolina.
We are about an hour's drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and about a two-hour's drive to Atlanta, Georgia; Knoxville, Tennessee; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Greenville, South Carolina; and Asheville, North Carolina.
Murphy, NC is the county seat and Andrews, NC is the second-largest town in the county.

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! Posted October 01, 2008 |

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. Posted September 27, 2008 |

Wow! What great info John. This is one of my favorite areas. I live in the piedmont - so not too far away. The boys and I get to your neck of the woods most summers. I'll be back to read more. Thanks. Posted June 07, 2008 |

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! Posted May 25, 2008 |

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. Posted August 24, 2007 |
