The Great Smoky Mountains and Friends
March 2019
Easy adventure.
Took a Thursday/Friday/Monday off to head to the Smoky Mountains! Last time I was here was in 2014 for my first solo travel trip, and first motorcycle camping trip. Went from solo on 2 wheels then, to with friends and a rig with 8 wheels..
Also got to break in the new trailer, a Taxa Woolly Bear!! This thing is so awesome.. the tent is so comfortable, easy to set up, easy to tow, amazing kitchen and organization compartments.. absolutely love it. Really looking forward to testing this thing out on some moderate trails and do some comfy backcountry Jeep camping. I like this trailer because everything is outside, it makes things easier without taking the outdoors out of camping. So cool.
