We left Georgetown and drove to our new spot just outside Piegion Forge, TN. Tennessee is the 11th state since we left Texas in June. The drive down was uneventful. There were a lot of hills but “The Beast” (our Ford F-350) pulled our Wanderer up them with no problem! Our mileage was even reasonable at 8.1 miles to the gallon. The trees are just starting to show some signs of color. We are staying at Kings Holly Haven RV Resort ($30 a night with Good Sam Discount) off Wears Valley road just outside Pigeon Forge. The site is gravel, full hookups (including cable TV) but only 30amps (Yes we popped the circuit breaker a few times). The site was a back in and very narrow. It took some great guidance from the owner and some back and forth before we got it in the site and the owner had to trim a tree of a few branches to clear our rig. Unfortunately the tree covered our solar panels so I could not count on them to charge the batteries and offload the 115VAC. But the resort is convenient to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Great Smoky Mountains NP. It is funny, when we are pulling in with our Wanderer, the people seems to come out of everywhere to watch us get backed in and setup. They have so many questions about our RV and the manufacturer. They come around for days afterwards asking David questions. The salesman at the factory had warned us this would happen because it is such a beautiful RV. RVers love to talk about their rigs and the problems they have had with them.

On the way down, Leslie got hold of a knee doctor in Knoxville and arranged for her records to be transferred there. We were told the office would contact us for an appointment after the doctor had reviewed her records. In other words, hurry up and wait.
