[Rockhounds] Up One Side and Down the Other of the Smokies

[Glenn Wimpee]

Jeanette and I have a trip planned up one side of the Smokies and down the other May 10 thru 25.Actually we will be driving from Mobile, AL to Hershey, PA and back.We have allowed ourselves about a week each way and plan to rockhound, visit some histerical sites including Gettysburg and others, visit family in Hershey, and maybe tent camp a couple of nights each direction.If you have suggestions for great rockhounding and or other places or sites we must see, please share with us.Maybe we can even meet a couple of ya'll for a short field trip or at least share a meal along the way. We will be traveling in a 4WD Honda Pilot so we can do a bit of light off-roading if we find the right opportunity. So far we have planned stops at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, New River Gorge in West Virginia, Gettysburg Battlefield, Hershey, New York City, Niagara Falls, the "fossil park" in Pennsylvania, Shenandoah N. Park, Church Hill, Tennessee, Franklin, North Carolina, and Smokey Mountain N. Park.
 
Lots for just 2 weeks, and we can probably work in a couple more. Thanks for your suggestions in advance!
Glenn  & Jeanette Wimpee
