Day 9. Cookeville to Robbinssville. We saw the tallest waterfalls east of Rocky Mountains.

Basic plan was to see the Niagara Falls, if weather would permit.
The east of USA had real bad weather, tha's why we went west.

Today we followed the route Keith explained to me yesterday to the Smoky Mountains.
And again we need to thank Keith.

It was a realxing day, not too much riding.
Morning started with storms and rain, but piet Paulusma promissed that would be gone by noon.
We left Cookeville after 10 with a little rain and a lot of wind.
Within an hour temp was OK, wind decreased and the sun was back.

We spent over 2 hours in the gorgious Fall Creek Falls State Park. Whenever you are around, take some time to see this. On of the best things we have seen!








Egbert on a suspension bridge making a moving movie.



To be found at a vista point in this park.

We visited a store with "real" Indian trade stuff. They only trade with dollars at this time.





You make a document on your computer, print it out and sell it for $5 in a Indian store. 
ell why not...




We took US30 East till we arrived in Telico plains. 
There we rode the Cherohala skyway, for Marc the second best road he ever rode in his live. (#1 = Stelvio)
