Our home away from home again ... just sitting on the front porch rocking away waiting for the clothes in the campground laundry!
This was a combined trip to Knoxville / Campground in Sevierville / Entertainment in Pigeon Forge / Beautiful drive through Gatlinburg and the Great Smokey National Park.
We loved it here ... we were camped on the Little Pigeon River, and just a few steps down to the river banks ... lovely.....slow moving, just like the lifestyle here ...but magnetic. We were going with the flow.
We are always amazed at the design and creativity in these Bass Pro Shops .. wow. This was small compared to some we've seen, but still spectacular.
They really do cater to the outdoor adventures .. hiking, fishing, hunting, and more.

We enjoyed the moist mountain air on this dewy night ... but our surprise rainbow made it even better.
Definitely a lot of fun at the Dolly Parton Smokey Mountain Adventure
.The best day, but the last day, when we realized we were close to the home of my friend and drum dealer / vendor!!!! Shorty and Sandy Palmer. ww.goatskins.com .. We decided to take a chance to see if they were home .... it was a short but wonderful visit and lunch with Sandy filling us in on the local backroads. They do live on top of the mountain for sure.... on the way back we went into Knoxville to see the Market Square area and get some local shopping in and then to see the famous Sunsphere Tower and World Fair Park |
Tomorrow onward to Lexington .... Kentucky and Rocky Top!
