Close to the Dragon is an underground lake , the biggest in USA and its called The Lost Sea
I think its a good place to see and i want to share it with you

Its only 50 miles away

 

Interesting, if I got up there earlier I'd consider taking the tour, not this year but maybe next time.

 

That looks cool, its open everyday to just walk around it looks like. the tour is only on saturdays and you go out on the water..

 

The Wild Cave Tour is only on Saturdays. The lake tour including the boat ride seems to be every day and lasts 1 hour and 15 minutes. It looks super interesting and it's just 20 minutes north of Tellico Plains. Might have to check it out Saturday afternoon.

 

I was thinking the same thing - maybe to Cherohala then after lunch in Teleco go check that out...

 

not a bad idea...

 

Make sure you figure your time well... so you are back for the banquet!
