Default Early morning in the Smokeys

We attended The ETCC Vette Fest in Gatlinburg Tn. this weekend. Saturday morning I got up early and took the nearby driving nature trail. It was 'dark thrity' when I started and I had the trail to myself. here are a couple or pictures of my run down this one lane road. It was wet and the leaves were sticking all over the car. The last picture is some of the cars at the event.

You can't beat Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains for some beautiful scenery and great photo's of Corvettes.

Great shots! Specially #3. Good looking car, though I'm somewhat biased.

Gotta agree with the previous posters. Wifey and I spent 4 days last year in Gatlinburg and it was amazingly fun and enjoyable. Will be going back again and soon! Gorgeous country, fun driving and great, friendly people.

Even with the wet weather, getting together with fellow Vette owners was great. Shiny or wet, Corvettes are beautiful.
