DAY 2 November 22, 2008 Dollywood Joe and I started the day out early playing some pool. As it turns out I stink. While the cabin itself was great, it's contents were sometimes faulty or malfunctioning. Soon you could get your first glimpses of outside and the Smokeys. Everything, EVERYTHING was built on the side of a hill. Basically, the key to these Cabin Complexes is find a nice sized hill, about 500 or 600 feet, load it with tons of cabins, each good in size, and you've got a Smokey Mountain hotel! I was carefull not to overload on breakfast, and after seeing some of the drops on Blazing Fury it was a smart idea. Sunrise in the Smokeys It's a great sight. If you've seen the movie "Arsnec and Old Lace" you'd understand. I have to say the Smokey Mountains are Beautifull sights, and they are huge. We had some directional troubles. The entire area was very rural and run down, with very little signs of a strong community. Giant Parking Lot! Is there EVEN an Amusement park here? Yep, there is. Lol, "Doggywood". This is the first time of many times you're gonna hear it from me, it was COLD! Here's trooper mom with the reindeer. We took a short walk and I got my first views of the famous Dollywood. But first we had to get our Q-Bots. While there, Trooper Mom saw one of the people who stood as a Cindy Brady for the Brady Reunion! More in a moment....

Well, hi yall! If you have read my previous topic you'd know I was headed to Tennessee this weekend, and more specifically, Piegon Forge. I planned to spend much longer there then I actually did, you can thank Jack Frost for that, and later, you can thank Jack Frost for a bit more. But for now, just read and enoy. DAY 1 Friday, November 21, 2008 Getting there We got home from School and had ahead of us a 5 hour drive through red neck country in a 1997 Jeep, which is probably hauling some of it's last loads. Ya see why after a while you can go a bit crazy in here? Little Joe knew exactlly where to go, South. It's Florence, Yall! It wasn't before long when the sun fell and we had to drive along side the mountains in the Dark. Dinner. Yep, we like it that way. This is how we keep ourselves entertained. A laptop, an ogre, and a donkey. From 6 to about 8 there was nothing but farms, but right around 8 we got to Knoxville and Piegon Forge. We couldn't see any of the mountains though cause it was to dark! Joe had resorted to slapping himself with a sock to keep entertained in the last half hour. At 9:00 we finally reached our Destination! Not a hotel, But a Cabin. And a roomy one, too. We stayed in one of the many cabin complexes in the Suburban Knoxville area. It came with a Pool Table included! Joe and I have to share a bed? At first yikes, but when we see how cold it gets, hurray! After driving for 5 hours strait, this outdoor hot tub was great. And you just HAD to see the stars out there. It was beautifull. Direct TV ended up giving us some headaches. Each cabin had their own name, ours was Mountain Breezes. Puppy Poker. Day 2 Coming VERY soon!

Yea I guess the fact that they lost a lot of days with the wind they're making up for it by working on Fridays. Anyone know what that shiney stuff on the Station Track is? -

Maybe he read the date backwards. -
My camera is charging and I'm packing my long-sleeve shirts, we're headed out tomorrow at 4:00 PM. Unfortunately this is going to be a tight weekend so it looks like I may park myself on the sofa on Sunday night or Monday and do one of the biggest PTR's this site has ever seen.

^^Would you expect it to NOT come along nicely? -
Why ride FoF with the lights on? Sorry, just came to mind. Because I find it to be not only an experience that I should take advantage of but because it also would be nice for me to check the ride out and see all of the ways it works and whatnot.
