- 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.
