Calling Indian Jones: fat guy crashes through floor, ancient Cherokee underground discovered

http://experiencecadescove.com...ve-underground-city/

“I’m a pretty big guy, so I don’t think the old wood floors were accustomed to supporting someone with my build. When I knelt down to start cleaning the fireplace, I started to hear a cracking sound, and before I knew it, I had fallen through the boards. I was pretty embarrassed at the time, but now I’m really happy that it happened.”

The mile-long tunnel beneath the John Oliver Cabin leads to a massive underground city that is believed to have been constructed by the Cherokee. According to the National Park Service press release, the city is around 350 years old.

For information about seeing the underground city in Cades Cove, don’t check back here. This entire story has been an April Fools’ Day joke! To the best of our knowledge, there aren’t any subterranean cities located beneath the Smoky Mountains. However, there are plenty of wonderful things to see and do above ground in Cades Cove.

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC

A couple of friends and I made the mistake of entering Cades Cove on our motorcycle trip to the Carolinas, ended up in a bumper to bumper crawl of lookie loos that couldn't simply drive through at 5 to 10 mph but had to stop, creep, stop, creep look cows, look trees, look a field, oh my a cabin... We took a central cut off road to get off the loop and ended up stopping at that cabin,

It was 15 years ago and I was 100 pounds lighter at the time or I'd have discovered the caverns LOL

The Creek should get a rise out of this.
