A scene with no propane, electricity, plumbing or insulation.
Some how I ended up at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and the Oconaluftee visitor center with the Mountain Farm Museum on a slow circular exploratory drive with a good friend.

Oh dear, Christopher. My eyes filled with tears as I saw your first picture. I knew immediately where you were. I have been there hundreds of times. I have many pictures of this farm. We always had to stop there when going through the Smokies. I do love this part of the country. I guess I must have lived there in another life & was extremely happy.
Thanks so very much, dear friend.
I hope I can call you friend.
I think we are friends Lola. I am glad my blog can bring you some good memories and good feelings as I get to know my new home and a place I already love.
Mesmerizing images! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I have thought many times how tough people were back in those days of no electricity and no insulation.
Hey! Ive been there! My dad and I rode a ski lift thingy to the top and had our pictures taken on the ride...do they still do that? Heh, I guess now you can imagine why people slept in "kerchief and cap" when they "settled down for a long winter's nap"!
Lisa, that chair lift thingy with what looks like a roller coaster up top is in Maggie Valley at Ghost Town. It's still there. This farmstead is just outside of Cherokee, the next valley over.
