Heading to the Smoky Mountains

This week-end I'm heading to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for some R&R with Jamie (wife) and hopefully for some good photo ops. This should be the height of the Spring wildflower season. I know it should be a good time for photography as the next couple of week-ends is when all the photo tours and workshops converge on the Smoky Mountains area.

I'll post a follow-up on my experiences, and hopefully with some good hands-on info. Here's a few links that I found helpful in trying to do some pre-trip planning.
