Day 295 (Sunday 5/12/13)- TN, NC, KY, VA, OH

Starting out in TN we drove into the Great Smoky's park in NC, crossed into KY, briefly stepped into VA and then ended up in OH. An impossible feat in the West but rather easy to do in the East.
Planning to hike the Great Smoky's we arrived and realized the road to our destination was made of poorly maintained gravel. Fearing for Vandrea's long-term health we opted to skip it (though considering all the junk food we ate last night it probably wouldn't have been a bad idea).

In Kentucky we stopped at the Cumberland Gap National Park where KY, TN and VA meet. This is also the historic pass through the Appalachian Mountains which prior to the addition of railroads was the only way that made settling the Ohio valley possible. It was a lovely scenic drive on a beautiful day.

Later we drove through eastern Kentucky and ended up in OH for the night.
