I drove to the "Gatlinburg Scenic Overlook" today.

I backed my truck into the parking spot and let my tailgate down. Then, I got my Diet Soda and sat on the tailgate and took in all the beauty while I sat and thought about life. I stayed for about an hour.

There were a lot of families who stopped to take selfies while I sat there. It was nice watching all the families on their vacation. The kids chased one another while moms tried to get everyone together for a group photo.

Great place to alleviate your stress...
