We decided to make it a short driving day. We are going to need to stay in cell phone range and are not sure if the phone will work in the Smokey Mt National Park. We stopped in a little place called Pioneer, TN. Kim and Suzi did good on this one. It is a small kind of rustic park... under construction... They have electric (for the a/c), water and sewer. They bit the big one, and went ahead and joined Passport America. Since they are now members they are camping here for 1/2 price... $10 a night. We will break even if we stay at least 4 nights at Passport America parks
The way we found the place is, there is a HUGE cross on the adjacent property here. It looks like if something ever happened it would fall on the power lines... Kim asked about it and was told that the guy who erected it was told by the city not to. They were concerned that it would fall on I-75. He built it anyway. The man who built it is now in his 80’s. One thing that is kind of funny is it overlooks an adult bar XXX. We were wondering which came first... the bar or the cross.
After it cooled off we took a walk to a small man made lake. Our neighbor was down there with his dog. He was throwing the stick into the water for his dog, and can you believe it, the dog actually was going out after the stick... at least the dog didn’t bring it back every time... Samantha and I did some wading and lots of running down by the lake! I fell head over heals for the guy!! But when we went up the hill and I met his brother I was scared to death of him! We got to run loose the whole time tonight. They built a fire on the bluff overlooking the adult bar. (Kim and Suzi didn’t even realize what it was until it was almost time to leave. )
I finally put my foot down and herded them back home for a nice restful sleep!
