We drove to Bryson City this morning to see the Great Smokey Mountains Railroad. Cliff had read several unfavourable reviews from trips taken this month so we wanted to check it out before deciding whether or not to go for a ride. We weren't impressed with the seating in the rolling stock, or the extortionate cost of a ticket, so didn't bother. Instead we had a quick walk around Bryson City then headed back to Cherokee.

Next we visited the Museum of the Cherokee Indian where we met Jerry Wolf who autographed a brochure for us while telling us that he was the sculptor of one of the exhibits. The museum was very interesting, with lots of artifacts and exhibits.
