As I've mentioned a few thousand times, I love the Great Smoky Mountains. It's relatively close, it's gorgeous, and it provides everything I need for a "battery recharge." After this weekend, however, I'm inclined to say...

Clutching my yellow senior citizen admission ticket in my hand I entered the grounds of Fort Boonesborough, one of Kentucky’s great state parks.
