After the rain we had a nice travel day where we are now in Pigeon Forge at the Waldens Creek Campground.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
This is the travels of Joe and Nancy. Nancy is part Cherokee and I'm Hungarian, thus the name of our blog. We started full timing May,1,2000. We traveled in our motorhome visiting beaches,state parks,national parks,corp of engineer parks. We have overnighted in Walmarts, 24 hour grocery store, boat ramps, FlyingJ. Now with health issues and old age. Plus, we have not used the motorhome in a few years, this part of our life has come to an end.

Moving up the road
Monday we left the Appalachian Campground in very much rain. I had to drive about 50 mile before we were out of the rain. Going through the town of Hiwassee. We entered the Cherokee National Forest and got a site in the Thunder Rock Campground.
I took site 15 which is along the fast flowing Ocoee river. Using the my Golden Age Passport card it was half price. These sites have no hookups,which is ok since I have the solar for electric and the tanks for water and sewer.
By that time it was dinner time. Nancy and Sherry were wanting to have a country dinner so we traveled a short distance to Pat's Kountry Kitchen for a good country dinner including the pinto beans.
The restaurant is in Copperhill Georgia. The town was named after the copper mined in the 1800's. Above is the old copper mining plant.
I enjoyed taking it easy out by the river. The cool breeze coming off the river with the beautiful scenery is hard to beat.
Yesterday as we left the campground we stopped at the dam just a short distance and enjoyed the mist coming off of the falls.
On down the river and yet another stop at the site of the 1996 White Water Summer Olympics.
