Finally out of Red Bay






We were finally able to leave Red Bay Monday afternoon. Apparently 2 wires had become loose and were reconnected incorrectly. All in all they found the problem and we left town immediately. Nineteen days was much longer than we wanted to be there. Our first stop was in Huntsville, AL where we spent the night at Monte Sano St Park. ALWAYS suspect that Ms GPS is not always correct. She had us going up some windy, curvy road that does not allow "trucks" over 30 ft long. So, we had to stop, un-hook the tow, back up (with me acting as a traffic cop), and re-route. Another stressfull trip. But ended okay. Next day we took off to Pigeon Forge, TN, but not before stopping at Costco in Huntsville to stock up. I LOVE COSTCO! We are now at Kings Holly Haven RV park in Pigeon Forge. Home of Dollywood and various other Dolly Parton/Country stuff. Best of all though are the Smokey Mountains. Today we took the Cades Cove drive up in the mountains between Townsend and the Sugarlands. Beautiful. Saw a few deer, turkey, and bears. The scenery is gorgeous. This afternoon we went to the Dixie Stampede (recommended by Chrystal from Tuscumbia) and highly recommend it. Go hungry, cause the food is more than one eats in a week.
