Background: Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65) and the Great Depression of the 1930s. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state. The economy is marked by steady growth, low unemployment and inflation, and rapid advances in technology.

I'll be hanging out here for a while

Well, as usual, I cannot sleep when I am traveling. So, I fired up the laptop and got online with the internet service at Cherokee Cabin. I found this Smoky Mountain Cabin by searching on the internet, I am now using the internet at their cabin, so I figured I might as well blog about the cabin. It is very private and secluded, unlike a lot of other cabin rentals you will find. It's actually a lot bigger than what I need for just myself, but their rates were so reasonable that I have some extra room to throw my gear [View Full Entry]

There is no better place to gain some knowledge than the Cherokee Indian Museum. The Museum of the Cherokee Indian first opened in 1948 and has been at its present location since 1976. The museum went through a major rennovation in 1998, adding an additional 12,000 square feet. The museum recently added a new exhibit which combines computer generated audio, video, and special effects as you go through a self guided tour and browse through [View Full Entry]

Return to Cherokee NC

North America » United States » North Carolina » Cherokee

Well, it has been a little while since I have been to Cherokee NC, but have just arrived in town. The first thing that I notice is of course the climate change. Even though it is still only August, the temperatures today have been in the high 70's, which is a nice change from the 90 degree weather I left behind in Florida! Today is really more about getting settled than doing any sight-seeing. I am staying at a Cherokee cabin rental that I found on the internet, so I had to find the cabin, unpack, and then head to the [View Full Entry]

The Great Smoky Mountains

the smoky bandit

Heather Says After an overnight stop in Knoxville we headed to the Smoky Mountains for a bit of hiking and fresh air. Ummmmm well not exactly, when we first entered the "nature reserve" area I felt like we'd entered a tackier, kiddy version of Vegas. It was all about crap theme parks, crappier "family" cabaret shows and themed hotels. After fighting our way through the white trash and traffic jams, we drove into the mountains where we thankfully found some peace and quiet. The scenery was INCREDIBLE - lush green forest with droplets of rain left from an earlier downpour glisten [View Full Entry]
