69/53 were the temps for yesterday, the cloudy and cool conditions kept the llamas happy as they hiked up.

It sounds like there is a pretty consistent chance of rain and storms this week, so pack for rain!

Hello down there!! Happy Tuesday everyone. It has been a fairly slow day so far. Walt is showing off the different styles of t-shirts we sell up in the office. #ThatsAwomansCutWalt
Logan is making sure the chocolate is hot and the coffee has caffeine. The birds in old lodge are chirping. #chimneyswifts Justin and Luke are eating lunch in Gatlinburg #bff
Henry is chilling with old crew member Gary. #crewForLife
Alison is tripping over downed trees catching Pokemon, and Jess is taking a nap.
I guess we are staying busy. It is currently 65 degrees and partly cloudy. Yesterday's high reached 70 and the low dropped to 52
We received .34inches of rain in a quick passing storm.
