Ha! They replaced the trout in the streams with sharks, rays, and penguins Thanks. Ripley's Aquarium in Gatinburg. Bear and other shots driving over to Cades Cove. The park rangers will keep you 50-100 yds. away from a bear and I agree they should. If a bear injures someone they kill it. They do a great job of keeping idiots from getting too close to them. Several of us happened on this one before a ranger showed up. I kept about 20 yds. away from her. Of course, some other idiots showed up and were getting too close for comfort taking pics with their IPAD, smart phones, etc...A ranger showed up just in time to make them give her some room. Stayed at a pretty neat place in Gatlinburg, this time. Kind of dated, but tucked away over looking the small mountain river with a private balcony. I was tempted to sleep out on the balcony just to listen and sleep to sound of the moving water over the rocks. |

About 3 hrs. from me. I've been going for over 25 yrs. There is the Grand Rod Run in Sept. If you have never experienced it. Thousands of old cars and trucks. The downside is the traffic and crowd. If you aren't into that. You may want to check the exact date and avoid that w/e. It is bumper to bumper traffic all through PF, and spills over into Gatlinburg. I usually rent a cabin, but decided to stay closer to town this time. I had a cabin one year with a wrap around deck. About 3am one morning there was a bear out on the deck getting into the trash I don't understand why the cabin owner didn't put the trash cans away from the cabin. I was closer than I wanted to be to it |

One of the free magazines had pics of GB and PF from the '50s in it. Boy did those places change! I bet there wasn't too much there when y'all started going?

I would like to go over to Maggie Valley and see 'Wheels Through Time' motorcycle museum. I'd also like to take the train ride sometime - Dollywood, I think. So much to do! I never have enough time for everything. |
