Once we got into Tennessee, our plan was to
head for the next national park (Great Smoky Mountains NP) and find lodging there
amongst the quiet of the trees and the natural world. Less than an hour outside the park,
however, billboards began to appear for theme parks (including "Dollywood"),
Dinner Shows, rides, hotels and minigolf
...etc...etc...
It seemed that we had stumbled upon
Pigeon Forge - Tennessee's mecca of family entertainment. It was, like so many things on our trip so
far, a complete surprise and, though we tried to stay true to our original goal
of a night in the wilderness, we were eventually lured into the flashing lights
and excitement. We stopped and got ourselves a room and gave ourselves up
to the place......
There were loads of fun things to fill up an
afternoon........
...and yes..... we even got tickets
to see the Black Bear Jamboree
Dinner show.
If you ever want to feel patriotic to the
beat of a country song...then Pigeon Forge, TN is the place for you!
