Our final stop was in Freedom, NH.  We stayed at the Bluffs Campground to pick a seasonal site for next summer (2016).  It is a beautiful campground in the White Mountains with access to Lake Ossipee.

 

 

 

In early September we visited Great Smokey Mountain National Park.  The park spans the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. We stayed at Smokemont campground in the North Carolina section.

The smokey mountains have a soft peaceful beauty and the park includes some historic sites as well as nature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Grand Ole Opry was on my wish-list for this trip. We made it to Nashville at the end of August.

We took a bus tour of Nashville.

 

 

 

 

And attended a Grand Ole Opry Perfomance.

 

 

 

While near Indiana we also visited the Indiana State Fair. It is the biggest one I have ever been to. We went on ‘Two Dollar Tuesday’ (admission was $2 and the trams were free).
