Explorer Tour
| From Fall Creek Falls, we proceeded eastward. Our next stop was Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, nestled in the Smoky Mountains. We tried Dollywood, but didn't spend much time there. The flowers were outstanding and of course... we forgot and left the camera in the RV. The highlight of the stop was the RV Park and our position on a high hill overlooking the main street of Pigeon Forge. |
