Saturday 16, Sunday 17 and Monday 18 June 2007 - Cherokee

The town of Cherokee has lots of Indian craft and souvenir shops, Indian museum and village.

We explored a replica of a late 1800s farm, checked out the Hurrah Casino, went on several walks though the forest trails and drove a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The mountains, rivers, trees and wildflowers are spectacular. We were unlucky in that we only saw one enormous stag, a squirrel and lots of birds but no other wildlife which abound in this area.
