Our first stop today was the Post Office but it turns out the one in Pigeon Forge doesn't accept general delivery mail. This is the first time I haven't called a Post Office before having mail sent. Guess that won't happen again. We have to go to Sevierville to get our mail. Since that is in the opposite direction than where we were going we will have to wait until Monday.
Today we were headed to Gatlinburg. We thought we would walk around town a bit. Bad decision. It was Saturday on a summer weekend. It was also one of the hottest days. There was no parking that didn't want to charge an arm and a leg so we went to our next destination.
We decided to tour a section of the Great Smokey Mountains that I didn't think we had been before. Once we got back to the rig and I looked it up I found out we had. Oh well, the plants looked different. We did walk one trail that was suppose to be 3/4 mile long and an easy walk. It would have been easy if there hadn't been a billions rocks you had to walk on.
The part of the park we drove was the Roaring Fork Auto Tour. It is a 5 mile drive and takes about an hour, depending on how long you spend at each stop.
When we finished the drive we took the long scenic way back to Pigeon Forge. We stopped at the Old Mill Restaurant for our main meal of the day. It was really busy and we had about a 15 minute wait. The food was pretty good. They served fritters with the soup and they were good along with a maple butter they had. Bill had chicken and dumplings and I had the turkey dinner. Afterward we walked around a bit before heading back to the campground.
It rained a bit later in the day. Not as much as they had been saying on the news but enough to cool it down a bit.
That was our day. I hope you had a good one.
