Today was our first full day here. We drove up Friday, left late so we stopped for the night in Fort Payne, Alabama, home of the country band Alabama. We went to the fan club and museum and then resumed our way towards Gatlinburg.
When we get to Pigeon Forge, we had to find our way to the realty that manages the cabins, then we had to find our way to the cabin. The traffic here is horrendous… worse than the Long Island Expressway. The route up to the cabin entails driving up Ski Mountain road and then some steep and windy roads.
The video doesn’t do the trip justice, the trip down the hill in some locations is a 40 degree angle… going up the hill these locations are places where I couldn’t go anywhere unless I was in first gear on an automatic transmission.
Today while we were downtown we saw some cool stuff. This town reminds me a lot of places we visited while we were in Germany. Here are some of the pics we took today:
Tomorrow we’re going to go to the Aquarium, and to Cades Cove.
