Another Deal's Gap Adventure

Well we went out to the Gap over the weekend and stayed at a friends place. We had an uneventful drive all the way until we got to the house's driveway. In my attempt to go up the hill the car began to slip and slide backwards. The drive was a solid sheet of ice! We just missed sliding off the edge of the cliff!! Mo was not happy, but we were all safe and made it to the house. In the morning I went down the driveway and evaluated the situation. After some help from the neighbor and a local hunter we got the car out of the ditch and on safe ground.

The day was spent relaxing in the house and exploring the local dams. TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) was letting the water levels down in the lakes. It was quite a site! John was amazed. The mountains are so beautiful. We had a safe trip home and I will have pictures to follow.
