Knights Inn Gatinburg Tn Gatlinburg

... be open when the ride returns are fast food restaurants. The small downtown area will be closed.<br><br>One sad note - Kudzu is starting to overrun the edges of the train route. It covers the banks of the railroad track and surrounding trees for the first few miles, encasing everything including trees. It even covered a truck that had been left in a parking lot. Kudzu is so envasive, it reminds me of the scene in ...

... little Indian ran town set in the Eastern Cherokee Indian Reservation land. It featured a MASSIVE casino that I couldn't have even imagined. I've been to Atlantic City which was various monstrosities called casinos too, and I knew that Indian Reservations frequently fronted casinos, but I never thought they'd be so extensive. The town had lots of oddities of tin statues (buffalo, horses, turtles), a nice colorful river, and various Indian themed shops selling baskets (JUST like ...

... surprising things Greg and I noticed while looking at a cemetery outside one of the original churches, was that, in this part of the country, people seemed to live much longer lives than was the norm in the 1800's. Many died in infancy, of course, but we saw that a majority of the headstones indicated years that calculated to 60, 70, or even 80 years of age! Guess those old mountain folks were made of tough stuff! It was a nice drive ...

... Park area. <br><br>We arrived at our campground, (a small park right on Walden Creek that managed to squeeze a lot of RV's into very little space), at 1:15. We were horrified, when we turned off of I-40 to head into Pigeon Forge, to see traffic at a standstill as far as we could see. Pigeon Forge (Home of Dollywood) and Gatlinburg have become huge tourist attractions, with miles and miles of T-Shirt Shops, Ripley's Believe it ...

... north of the city around 6pm, another Holiday Inn Express. This one looks like it is older but they still have the nice new beds. I lay down for awhile but cannot fall asleep so I watch TV instead. I find a History Channel show about Hannibal. Seemed he won every battle but lost the war. The amount of slaughter is incredible to me. I see that they are advertising a show for later that night about ...

... the kids just love. Bicycles, tubes for floating down the river. some areas have pretty good rapids parts are slower and relaxing. The bicycle trail starts right there accross the road and runs to the other end of town (5 miles). The Tuckaleechee Caverns are amazing and only cost about $12.00 per person for an almost 2 hour tour and it is open not not cramped like most. Many horseback riding stables. The best one is 1 mile from Lodge and ...

Yesterday was a pretty relaxed day of driving, minus the extreme sticky southern heat. This stuff the horribly disgusting!!!!! We only made a few stops, one was to get our normal beer and glass, we tried to get one at a few places in Nashville but we struck out a lot. So we stopped in Knoxville and we finally got one. After that our mission was complete. We got back on the road and headed to our destination Pigeon Forge, home of ...

It has been many years since I've been in Cherokee and little has changed except for the Casino which is undergoing major expansion. We were nestled into a nice RV park with a brook flowing through it. Cherokee is close to many attractions and we enjoyed our stay there.

We found a spot somewhere on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. It was so beautiful we spent a few days here and did everything.<br><br>We did some white water rafting near our site and met a friend. She was a cat the lived there and loved sleeping in the tent. ha ha ha.... We named her Nantahala, 'Nanta' for short.<br><br>It was Beautiful....

... are huge (as everything in USA), so Vero had half the brekkie packed for her and we could have it the next morning in the camping. Link: http://www.pancakepantry.com/ We did a little tour of Gatlinburg, which is a bit like Disney of the Alps, and Marcos was delighted to see all these T-Shirt Shops with items like 'Mess with me, and you mess with all the trailor park" or "Don't follow ...
