We are parked out at Douglas Lake again. This is the best place for us in the Smokies. The price is right at $9.00 a night with the Golden Age PassPort. It got cold last night the temp was 37 here and it got down to 18 on top of the mountain. With ice on the road route 441 across the mountain going over to Cherokee,NC was closed for the 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.

Everything?
I've always heard you can find it at WalMart. This is the fist hitch'n post that I've ever seen at a WalMart. This was located in Glasgow,KY. After we left this area we went to a Church Homecoming in Matewan,Wv. this past weekend. We are now in the Smokie Mountain area for a while.
Long Time
After being off line for a time its good to be back online. We've been unable to be on because I havn't been able to get the Verizon signal where we've been. We spent a month at the Barren River Tail Waters COE campground. It is free this time of year so why not? They do have water and the dump station was left open. While in that area we went through the Mammoth Cave.

Another Car Show
They're having another car show here in Pigeon Forge,TN. this week-end. This one is called "Shades of the pass". Last week-end it was the Rod Run. If you ever get a chance to see one of these it is worth looking at. You can find no more cars in one place. We will be heading out tomorrow to Louisville,KY for the National Quartet Convention to listen to some Southern Gospel Music. We were not going to attend this year but decided at the last minute to go to the last three nights.

Diesels Run Forever?
So much for the saying"buy a diesel they keep running". There were about 5 of them in this shop getting worked on. Any time you have any type of engine you're going to sooner or later have it worked on.
Generator Repair
Unfortunately sometimes the life of a fulltimer doesn't go so smoothly. This was the case when we had to get the Onan Generator repaired. Here is the mechanic(Jamie) putting the generator back in at the Cummins Onan facility in Knoxville,Tennessee.

Labor Day
Labor Day is our annual Family Reunion time.
We have the Mitchell Family Reunion each year in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee. This family started with 5 girls and 1 son and now has grown. We had 43 at the reunion this year and evryone didn't come. We had the usual Saturday hot dog and hamburgers. Saturday night also was the karoake singing. Sunday was the "big" meal with chicken and ham for the meat. All the trimmings of side dishes and of course lots of desserts. Once again we had a good time visiting with one another. The sad part is saying our goodbyes until we met again.
