How fat are you


I'm still south of Lane Kiffin territory.

But seriously, I'd prefer something closer to a scenic nature walk than a real hike. Too many knee surgeries already.

Pigeon Forge is a redneck riviera.

Pigeon forge isn’t on the gulf coast of Florida.

Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Cherokee, Cades Cove, Townsend, if you can’t find something to do there you are just dead inside.

Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are family centered tourist traps. Cherokee has history and casinos. Townsend has history and nature. Cades Cove has history and nature. Fishing, golf, destination theme parks, gambling, sporting events, everything but an open ocean.

Are you referring to the one behind the space needle? Log cabin pancake house?



Yeah, I think that's the one. It has a bunch of college flags hanging in it?

Somewhere else....
Gatlinburg kinda sucks too.
Plus half of it burnt down a few years ago.


Not really. The town is fine. I am there quite often as it’s an hour away. North of town saw limited damage but few folks notice it.

Cherokee if you gamble
Plenty of golf in the area
Cades Cove for history and great views
The Dragons tail if ride motorcycles
The Mill at pigeon forge
Tons of wineries and distilleries in the area
Worlds Fair sight in Knoxville
Knoxville Zoo
If you are gun guy Buds Gun Shop in Sevierville
The largest knife store/museum is Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville
If you Fly in you will be in Alcoa and can hit all the Sam Houston stuff in Blount County.
If you want a quite picnic the Y or Sinks are great.
Fly Fishing, is solid in the area.
tuckaleechee caverns is interesting
Foxfire Mountain Meets all your outdoor adventure needs.

I love living in East Tennessee. The only thing we lack is a beach.

Gatlinburg has a special place in my heart as I’ve went there many times as a kid with my parents and beyond. Played Hillbilly golf, ate at Possum Jones, rode the chairlifts.. etc..

I went there in August and it wasn't as good as I remember it years ago. Yeah, had the flags hanging from the ceiling. Definitely a nice restaurant tho
