- Hello from the foothills of the Great SMOKY Mountains! - Where there is no "e"
- in Smoky. I know, it's a bit surprising, isn't it? A number of very sweet, well
- meaning folk have messaged me over the years to say that Smoky should have
- an "e", but it actually doesn't as seen in the photo below in this photo taken at one
- of the Park's entrances.
-
- There is a place for the "e" in Smokey, though, We've all seen the ads and
- commercials that have imprinted that rogue "e" indelibly in our minds.
- Smokey Bear has an "e" in his name so we'll just blame the spelling confusion
- on him. Somehow, it just naturally transfers when we refer to the Great Smoky
- Mountain National Park, but truly, there's no "e" in the Smoky Mountains.
