Well, it's been a while but something about Fall here in the mountains makes me want to write about the area. The leaves have started to change and are even falling on the Spur on windy days. Makes for a nice drive if you can catch it with no traffic. This seems to be more on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Crack your window for a bit of chilled fresh air. Worth the shiver.
And should you leave it down for the whole ride, I suggest catching a cup of cofee at one of Gatlinburg's gourmet coffee shops - like Coffee and Company. Nothing makes a crisp autumn morning like freshly roasted and brewed coffee.
Speaking of fall, Magic Beyond Belief is having its Halloween Spooktacular which features Terry Evanswood pay tribute to Harry Houdini. If you haven't managed to catch it - please do so. Well worth the visit as it has become a local tradition. Book tickets ahead of time though, the place seems to sell out pretty quickly.
