Default 3000k mile trip, From Texas to Pennsylvania, from Pennsylvania to Gatlinburg TN, home

I took this trip back in the beginning of August, but I didnt get the pics till today. My girlfriend had the pics on her laptop, and has had it pretty tied up

My parents drove my dad's 02 TJ, equiped with 3.5" RE lift, detroit locker rear, 4.88 gears, and some other doodads.

First pic is at the info center on the border of TX, and AK


My dad's jeep going down the interstate


A cool lookin bridge. Where, I do not remember!


The next few pictures are just some scenery that we encountered on our way to P.A.

We hiked to a place called "Clingman's Dome" it the highest point in the smokey's reaching an altitude of 6690 feet(roughly).


Notice how foggy it looks, that isn't fog that is a cloud



The jeeps parked at the head of a hiking trail


Something unique that you see on that hike
