Two Sides of the Dam

Dam! No, not the “dirty word.” Those big things that hold water. There are a mess of them in Tennessee and North Carolina. Everywhere I turned I saw another dam sign. (Ha, see what I did there? ) One of the best-known is Fontana Dam. Fontana Lake, formed by the dam, borders an entrance to the Smoky Mountains. And, since I like water and was nearby, I stopped and took a stroll. The photos above show the two different sides of the dam, providing two different spectacular views. One of the other dams in the area that I didn’t make it to this time around is the Cheoah Dam, where part of the Harrison Ford film The Fugitive was filmed. But the stop at Fontana Dam — like the others — provided the opportunity for lovely views.
