Again On the Road

The past week has been fairly busy at the Rally near the Great Smokies.  Three to four seminars were held each day, but Friday was a scheduled "day off" of sightseeing.  Some went golfing, some went "ZipLining", we took a motorcycle ride with no destination or route in mind.  Traffic in the commercial areas of Pigeon Forge was packed.  What a relief to get out of town.  We headed southwest through Wear Valley and Townsend before turning south into the National Park.  We came across Little River Road, and had it almost to ourselves

This pleasant byway took us generally East (but definitely not in a straight fashion) back to US441 and Gatlinburg where the traffic craziness returned.  With some showers and high winds forecast for later in the day, we chose to head back to the RV park.  After dinner, about 100 of us took advantage of a special offer to see our own music show at the Majestic Theater.  It was a very Hi Energy song-and-dance session with music from the 50's-80's - just the thing for a lot of Baby Boomers.

Many blog readers are motorcyclists, so I want to share a photo of a setup here at our park:

This Dyna (Super C Freightliner) was built as one of only 2 prototype Toyhaulers.  The sidecar is used by this couple's dog.  How's that for a way to travel in style?

The Rally ended with breakfast on Sunday morning, so now we have a week to get back to MN for Easter with all the family back there.  We pulled into another Corps of Engineers park just northwest of Nashville for one night.  What a great park; a little hard to find, but very nice and extremely quiet.
