You will love your visit down there. We travel down there about every other year. When you come into the state of Tennessee there is a rest area not more than a block. Go in there and pick up a brochure of the Great Smoky Mountains and pigeonforge.

There all kind of things to do down there and you will not believe all the great food. From stakes to fish, you name it they got it. You can pan for Gold. The town has some of the best in entertainment.

You will want to go back wants you been there. Hope you enjoy yourself and may the blessing of God be with you. I hope this was of help to you. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the info.

Nobody else has an opinion or suggestion?

Tennessee seems like a nice state.
 
Don't forget that the Bass Pro Shop is open now right off the interstate and also in Severville you have the National Knife Museum located inside of Smokey Mountain Knife Works. It has a gift shop on the lower level to keep the wife busy. Interesting to see some works of all the old timers, They had only one knife of WT Fuller there and it was not one of his best, but they have a lot of fixed blade customs and folder customs by many different makers and change the exhibits every quarter, because they have more than they can display all at one time, but it will still take an hour or so, just to make the rounds. Some production collections may be found. When I was last there they had a Case Peanut collection, one of each ever made. Quite interesting. Lot of exhibits and lots of knives for sale if you like production knives.
Don't forget to go to the Dixie Stampede, great shows, get tickets early or call in and do a will call. Usually full up. Also, even this time of year Dollywood is open with some shows. Call the chamber of commerce and get brochures sent out of what is available in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Severville also.
 
We took our honeymoon in Gatlinburg. Really pretty in the Smokies !! Forget the "Gem Mining" tourist traps, they are just a rip off.

Dollywood,? Isn't that located between the twin peaks of udder?

I'm about 30 minutes of I-81 , 43 miles North of The Tenn/Va border. Pretty around here. Stop on by. Hungry Mother state park is 8 miles from the house. Nice little lake , campground and cabins there.
