Trump Blamed For Felled Tree In California

Fake News Outlets (FNO) is reporting the giant Sequoia tree known as the Pioneer Cabin Tree, located in California inside Calaveras Big Trees State Park, did not succum to the weight of a heavy freak snowfall and heavy winds. Instead it was felled by President Elect Donald Trump as a warning to the 55% of California citizens that voted for Hillary Clinton.

The giant Pioneer Cabin Tree now lays dead on the forest floor and will slowly decay as nature begins its reclamation of the 1000 year old tree. The same can be said for Hillary Clintons political career.

This was Donald Trumps way of firing a warning shot to the other states that failed to vote for him in the election. What state and iconic feature will be eliminated next?

Gatlinburg Sky Lift

The Parkway in Gatlinburg has many attractions to choose from. I highly recommend the Gatlinburg Sky Lift. Tickets are $15 per person but here is a tip: If you buy an all day pass, it is only $20 dollars. This option allows you to see the top of the mountain in the day time and also at night when the lights are on.

The ride is a standard ski lift set up. You step onto the platform, (There are feet painted to show you where to stand.) The carousel slowly brings your lift chair around and the attendant raises the bar and you step on and sit down. You then lower the bar and you are on your way. (They will also stop the chairlift momentarily to allow people that need more time to get in their chair.)

The ride is mostly smooth with just a tad of swaying up and down. The view is spectacular and the ride very relaxing. Just befor you reach the top there is an opportunity to have your picture taken. (Cost is $11 for small photo but cost goes up with the package deals they present to you)

At the top you raise the bar on the chair and step to the right when the attendant tells you. There is a little shop where your sky lift picture is posted for you to view before buying plus soft drinks and ice cream and assorted snacls and trinkets.

The view is outstanding as you look down upon the city and out to the great Smoky Mountains. Plenty of photo ops available.

The ride down is as simple as the ride up.
Again, I highly recommend buying the all day pass. You will want to ride it many times.

***The 2016 arson fires damaged a portion of the Gatlinburg Sky Lift but most was not lost. I am sure plans are in place to rebuild the attraction in the very near future.
