We drove to Townsend and on through this tunnel,up the mountain and over into Cades Cove. This use to be an old settlement in the 1800's. There is a one-way 11 mile loop around it. There are churches that are still standing that were build in that time frame. Old houses,barns and cabins.
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.

Cades Cove
We drove to Townsend and on through this tunnel,up the mountain and over into Cades Cove. This use to be an old settlement in the 1800's. There is a one-way 11 mile loop around it. There are churches that are still standing that were build in that time frame. Old houses,barns and cabins.
Rain
It has been raining all morning, but the cattle on the hill doesn't seem to mind the rain. Maybe they know when it rains the grass will grow faster? Just another lazy day today.

Cabin?
Every twist and turn there are roads up into the mountains with cabin rentals. There are small one and large ones. You can rent one family and up to four family or more. If several families rent one and split the cost it could be cheaper than each one taking a motel room. Before we started camping we rented these type cabins and were very satisfied. They are complete with everything you need except you have to bring your own food to cook.

Dollywood
A trip to Pigeon Forge,Tennessee isn't complete until you go to Dollywood.We always park at Patriot Park and take the trolley. The cost is 50 cents a person and it drops you off at the entrance. You can drive your car,that will cost you $6.00 extra just to park the car. So the easy and cheap way is the trolley.
Carousel
Once inside there are shows to see and many rides for the young and old alike. One ride is the old fashion carousel with the hobby horses.
Steam Locomotive
The coal fired old time steam locomotive is a favorite ride and is always full. It goes up the valley and back for a 5 mile round trip.

Furniture
If you are looking for unusual furniture,they have it in the Smokies.
You can find it made of cedar and polished up or you can find roughly made out of logs and limbs. It all looks good.
