The Hidden Village

During a little ramble in the Great Smoky Mountain National Forest,

We spotted a large wooden barn house by a stream.  Let's see what's inside?

A Warning sign forbid us to enter but it doesn't hurt to have a look does it?

As we turned to continue our hike up the hill we spied even more houses.

Look at this little cabin built sometime in the early 1800's. Do you want to see what's inside?

A few houses down a little well sat in front of the tiniest house. We were sure a gnome lived or lives there.

We were amazed to find this village in the middle of nowhere. Why not have a look at Jump Into A Book to see why finding a hidden village was the most important task of the day.

  7. It is nice to stumble upon things when out in the woods. Could these be CCC cabins from the depression era when many of the parks and trails were built?

  8. Mommy. Why didn’t you put the silly picture of me in the glasses acting like an old woman? I like that one the most.
