If I was to do something crazy at the last minute and make the journey to Pigeon Forge, is there a place to park trailers?

Yes they have a decent size parking lot with a grass edge. I usually back out onto the grass and unhook and park my truck beside trailer.. So if u get that wild hair.. We will accommodate.

Come on John, it's not that far. I'll let you drive the vert around if you'll make the trip :P

We're cleanin' her up, loadin' her up, and gettin' ready to hit the road. Hope to be en route by 8:00 am so we should roll in around dinner time.

Road tested and ready to roll.

I think they're about the same, but after that much interstate we like to get off the expressway for a while. A little more scenic. I think we went to Knoxville the first time, but ever since we drop down.
