Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee

On our journey back south, the wacky races team stopped at Knoxville Tennessee. This is one of the nicest towns we’ve stayed in ... good city vibe and friendly people. Our hosts, Sue and Lyndall were just fantastic. Downtown Knoxville has a great night life, having converted the old town area into a vibrant piazza with cafes, bars, music and street theatre performances (they were doing Shakespeare the night we were there). Next day we went to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge (home of Dolly wood) ... fantastic and so many attractions it’s hard to list. The mountains are gorgeous and the town is full of amusement parks, penny arcades, outlets (including Hillbilly HD), monster flea markets ... way too much to do. Bec wants to inner tube down the smoky mountain rivers, so to quote McArthur, “we will be back!”.
