Maybe we could meet in Pigeon Forge or something. I've always wanted to go to Dollywood. WHAT? Or, you know, Knoxville. It's about the same distance. Or Maggie Valley! Hmm.
Pigeon Forge is pretty reasonable for me. We could do a weekend in Dollywood! I went there when I was a kid. It's pretty much what you'd expect a tennessee theme park in the mountains to be.
Can you tell I can't wait to get a car?
Hee. Have you started looking yet?

I've started looking. Spending $400.00 on Lulu this past weekend has set me back a bit, but I'm hoping that my friend Susannah will sell me her Subaru. Barring that, I've got my eyes open.
Cool. Good luck. Hey, did you ever get that email I sent you? Thanking you for the candle and the coffee mug (which I used this morning!)?
Heh. I've always looked longingly at the turnoff to Pigeon Forge, but never had enough time for the side trip.
sevierville, pigeon forge, and gatlinburg make for a really interesting trifecta of outlet malls, theme park, and cabins. It's a nice place to go away to for a couple days.
I did get the email. Sorry I never responded. The Ick has taken hold of me lately, and forced me to be even flakier than usual. Which is saying something!
Ooh, now I'm feeling a Buffista get-together in Pigeon Forge. ::rubs hands::
Once I get my car, I'm going to make up for my five (six?) years of carlessness with a vengeance.
Heee. If you get the chance, could you send me the pictures from the weekend I was there?

That's where my bro and SIL went on their honeymoon. I think they stuck mostly to the cabins-type thing.

My lasting memory from the time I went through that stretch on a Monday afternoon in June a few years ago was the bumper-to-bumper stop-and-go traffic. On the plus side, leaving that traffic behind made the drive up Hwy. 441 to Newfound Gap, the side trip to Clingman's Dome, and the drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way to I-26 just that much better.
