Itinery? What Itinery?..

Our Cabin at Arrowmont Cabins and Stables.. More about the 4 legged residents later.

So we had planned to resume our trip around the region, when we happened upon "Headwater Outfitters" who offered tubing.

This lovely little river originates just by the office, and meanders on, joining the Tenesee and Mississippi later in its flow.

Relaxing or what !

We met some interesting boaters, under the command of Captain Marmit ( Or whatever his name was ).

At the put out point we were greeted by a mermaid, and our Pirate driver.

At the outfitters they were celebrating Labour Day weekend, with a pirate themed party ( all makes sense now ).

Another local band churning out more cover versions, they were performing requests for the boozy watchers. "Mamma Bear" Provided lovely food but not in a hurry.

We joined a table of local pensioners to enjoy our lunch.

Off again and to Looking glass falls.

Looking glass mountain, formed by underground volcanic activity.

Some little hikes including the downhill trot, to the lower falls. The Lower falls are near the headwaters of " The Yellowstone Prong" an important riverway particularly to the local fish, The Brook Trout.

Back at our cabin, the horses were once again roaming free.

We decided to burn some chicken tonight, the horses strolled by and cast a curious eye over our shenanagins.

Goodnight dear reader, going in to shower off the thick aroma of smoke. xxx

"I have fallen behind a few days!!I must say that tubing followed by cold beverages looks like heaven!! I don\'t know what I was expecting re tubing but it feels like you are just left to float on down the river? sounds a exciting but I would be concerned about getting tangled in the edge of the river! the bbq looks like you are in a very flammable environment and based on Ian\'s fireworks feels kind of scary!!
