Indiana and Tennessee Fall Colors




We came to Elkhart, IN to recalibrate our automatic leveling system because we lost its memory in Kansas at the factory. It is really hard to get around Elkhart because it is an old city and the main roads were under construction. I went across town and had to have OnStar help me coming and going. Twelve days in Indiana and colors just beginning.






 

On the first of October we leave Indiana and are going to the Smoky Mountains to meet up with our friends from The Woodlands Hiking Club who have rented a cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN. When we are traveling to a new location we park in Walmart parking lots so we do not have to disconnect. We stopped in Columbus, IN and Danville, KY on our 359 mile trip. Kentucky and Tennessee have beautiful rolling hills and still very green. Beautiful country to travel through.

Our cats are always entertaining.




We camp between Townsend and Sevierville, TN with mountain roads going in both directions. We stayed at the Cove Mountain RV Resort for 10 days beautiful park, beautiful weather.

The first day here we decide to go to The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We have to drive 12 miles to Sevierville and take a right to go to the park. No one told us of the traffic we would encounter driving from Sevierville through Pigeon Forge and through Gatlinburg to get to the park. Wall to wall people and cars and narrow roads but the drive through the park was worth the congestion. 

On the ninth of October we rotisserie chickens to take to the hiking club cabin. Their cabin is in Pigeon Forge on a hill side. We had to do the chickens at our camp site because the cabin was on asphalt and concrete with no grassy areas. To get  there we have to call one of the guys and he had to come and lead us there up a mountain into a colony of cabins. He had to lead us back, too.

Visiting with our friends we have not seen since March and some of who we have not seen in over a year is great fun.

Fall colors two weeks away


Sevierville, and Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are a den of touristy traps.




Fall decorations are everywhere
