Sylva and Bryson City, NC

We arrived at the Fort Tatham RV Resort outside Sylva, NC about 2:00 p.m.    Our campsite backs up to the Tatham Creek.  The campground has great wifi, but no tv.   Guess how we're spending our time....reading, listening to the radio and we did go into Sylva last night for a DQ after supper.   Today (Friday) we drove to Bryson City to see the steam engine and the model railroad museum.   The train depot was quite busy with people picking up or buying tickets for the morning run.   We had decided NOT to ride this train, as we plan to ride when we get further west.   The model train museum is awesome.   It's quite a big building with the walls lined with cases containing all manner of model trains.   It was interesting that each piece had year made, who the operating company was, and when the actual rolling stock was retired.   It also listed current value of the model (but I'm not sure what year it was "current").  There was also a wonderful train layout in the center of the room.   Jack took pictures, so once he gets them off the camera, I'll post them. On my bucket list was getting my National Park Passport book stamped with the Great Smokey Mountain National Park stamp.   I've visited the NP from both the TN and the NC sides, and so stopped at the Visitor's Center to get the book stamped!   WOOHOO

Next stop, Tennessee!
