Leaves are Peaking! Couple of questions...

Went to Gatlinburg for the first time. I was really impressed. It reminds me of the White Mountains in New Hampshire.

The leaves were peaking. I understand that New England didn%26#39;t have much of a show this year. Well, the Smokies are just beautiful right now.

We drove to the top of Clingman%26#39;s Dome (scary for me, I%26#39;m afraid of heights) and couldn%26#39;t see anything since there was a cloud sitting on top of it. There was a small patch of snow. We stood our five-year-old in it. She has always lived in Florida so it was her first snow! The other visitors must have thought, ';Look at those crazy Florida people!'; (We just moved to Knoxville, but still have Florida plates!)

Ate at Calhoun%26#39;s in Pigeon Forge for lunch. Thought it was just okay. Stopped at the Happy Days Diner for dinner. Couldn%26#39;t get anyone to wait on us. Food looked slightly overpriced and lackluster, so we left. Ate at Carino%26#39;s in Pigeon Forge, instead. FANTASTIC! I can%26#39;t say enough good things about this restaurant. Apparently, there is one in Knoxville, too. Can%26#39;t wait to go back.

I would like to rent a cabin in Gatlinburg and spent all of yesterday looking for one. Numerous conflicting reports have me confused! Any suggestions?

Also, does the area pretty much close down until April?

I%26#39;ve been impressed with Mountain Rentals...I%26#39;ve rented from them a few times and the prices are reasonable. Check them out.
