Journey loved his rides through Cades Cove. He loved the horses, deer, and turkeys. We followed rules and didn't get him out, but lots of people had their dogs out at buildings and pull off areas.
We drove to Cades Cove and stopped at the picnic area to grill. Our fur baby loved it... she got to run around, eat a hot dog, and meet other pets. While we drove around the loop we did allow Gidget to get out and nobody said anything. I don’t really understand why people have problems with letting their dog out of the car.
