Where's everybody, I guess on vacation!

 

i know i am going on vacation next week, going to gatlinburg. rented a cabin in the mountains the only thing is that my inlaws are coming with me rented a 8 bedroom that sleeps 20 and their is only 9 of us going so i hope it is big enough to get away from them. but it will be fun,they have a lot to do their.

 

Those cabins are sweet. And yes there is plenty of space to get away. We had one like that with a basement floor with about 4 rooms alone down there.

 

I'm pretty close to you, I'm in Monroe.

 

dude i love gatlinburg.i almost moved there about a year ago.me and the wife are still talking about it.maybe at least pigeon forge.

 

ye it is nice,i been their 6years ago and i think it is time to go back. don't know if i want to live their but it is a great place to visit for a week or two.

 

Pigeon forge is really nice too.

 

i went there on my honeymoon and loved it.i will go back if i dont move.we did thnk about the tourists out there.thats why we are still discussing it my wife works at a job that she can transfer but i might not be able to really thats whats holding us back.and the fact the housing market here is down so it would take awhile to sell my house if we do it.i went in april 2006 i just missed the snow but i dont know how to drive in snow especially in the mountains.when we go back i think i will rent a bike and go site seeing too.

Louisiana Saturday night, on the damn computer!! Wish I was at my time share in Pigeon Forge right now, but instead heading up to Hot Springs, Ark. during the week.

 

It's pretty nice up there. I went last winter and had a pretty nice time. We rented a cabin that slept like 18 or something but was only 3 real bedrooms. Perfect since we only had 3 couples that went. They tend to put twin beds in random rooms and count sofas as to being able to sleep 2.

Back in Lockport after a week camping in Hot Springs, Ark. and when I got back I went to Grand Isle for a few days of fishing. Got to get back to work to pay for the gas!!

 

How was Hot Springs. I got back two weeks ago from gatlinburg and it was great. mid 50s in the morning,upper 80s in the afternoon. saw a black bear with some cubs around the cabin in the mountains.just great but you are right about the gas, from my house to the cabin is 756 miles one way then we went drive in the mountains and that wasn't good on a tank of gas. i thought my truck did real good on the highway i got 18.8 mpg doing 72 to 75 with cruise controll on.

 

Hot Springs is OK but no Gatlinburg, we went up there to meet my daughter and son-in-law and grandson. They towed their trailer from Oklahoma and we camped out with them for 5 days. The KOA was close to a water park and we had a great time but at 60 year's old I'm getting a little too old for all that stuff!! I still prefer the Smokies in late Sept or October, beautiful when the leaves are changing.
