I joined Andy and Scott (aka The Professor) on a hike into the Smokies.  Andy suggested the Fork Ridge / Deep Creek area as a prime spot for wildflowers this time of year.  He was right on as this was one of the most impressive wildflower hikes that I have ever been on.

 

Here are a few photos from our adventure:
