I used to spend the weekends there and play in the lobby and caves as a kid until he passed.
That's a ways from Ohio. Next time ya'll around give a yell. We can all go out for dinner or drinks.

Will do. It was a fun trip, took a little over an hour or hour and a half from Lenoir City to get there....a semi went over and held us up pretty good.
We ate at the City Diner? Or something like that, it was below a hotel...I thought the food was pretty good myself.
