4 October – Asheville to Pigeon Forge

Today was a travel day. We went up and over the Smokey Mountains, with stunning forest views. The leaves are just starting to turn yellows and reds, so we hope to see some good autumn colours soon.




Pigeon Forge and the surrounding areas are very “theme park”. Lots of dinner and a show places, rollercoasters, Ripley Believe it or Not, Hollywood Waxworks and so on. We passed a “Trump Store for American Patriots”…




On arrival at the RV park, we had issues with the auto levelling jacks on the RV so we had to buy some blocks and go old school by putting chocks under the front wheels to get it level. A roving repair man came out and looked but the pump and motor for the hydraulic system need replacing. We met up with Steve’s brother and sister-in-law who have rented a nearby cabin for a few nights, and we will do some sightseeing with them in the morning. We are planning to ride the bike over the range to a place called Cherokee and back.

  1. How fast was the fuel gauge working when you went over the Smokies.
