A cool blue night wraps around a misty forest clearing in the Smoky Mountains, with stars peeking through thin clouds. A red-and-white dome tent glows softly by a small campfire, with two chairs waiting nearby. Steam curls from a coffee thermos on a stump, and an axe rests in a chopping block while a tiny bird’s nest sits tucked in a tree branch.
