Day one of the DC to OC drive. Overnighting in Gatlinburg TN. For those of you not familiar with this little Burg, imagine your tackiest beach town and put it at the West gate to the Smokey Mtn National Park and that pretty much sums it up. It used to be tolerable. But now, the Pigeon Forge tacked on (thank you Dolly Parton) the traffic in is miserable and the place is a poster child for everything that is wrong with commercialization. I have fond memories of Gatlinburg from when I was a kid- we'd come here every other year or so. But these days...not so much.
Tomorrow- LIttle Rock. Then Amarillo (have to see the Cadillac Ranch), Albuquerque, Grand Canyon and then our final desitnation in MIssion Viejo/Laguna Beach where young son is going to school.
Pics to come.
