.. in a blink .. Part 2 -- Camping at Smok Mont in Smokey

Camping was the most exciting part of our trip.. We reached the camping site at dusk and the best part was we didn't know whether we would find a place there as we had not reserved a place ! Well, the camp owner said find any empty site and that's yours.

We did find one without much effort. That time of the day, daylight had gone in the past. We had a tent with a instruction page but no light, no torch, no wood for fire.

The engineers in us came to our rescue. We decided on the place to host the tent. arranged our car so that the headlights will give us enough light. Now we tried deciphering the instructions to host the tent..

We searched for a rock to use it as a hammer to secure the base of the tent. In a matter of 30 minutes.. viola.. we had the tent up .. Now dinner time... we had managed some subway sandwiches that time.. guys rushed out to get beer.. we travelled almost 30 miles.. but didnt get beer.. haha..

The camp area had stories of bears, so we dumped a remaining food in the car; far away from the tent.. and slept telling one another all the ghost stories.. watta fun.. hehe..

Come morning, all was safe and sound.. we went trekking, where we saw a deer on the peak. Some achievement as there was no scenic spot at the top.. just the deer and us..

Back to Nashville and back to home.. Cheers.
