We arrived in Gatlinburg, TN around 7pm to traffic! Let me just say Gatlinburg is a happening place over memorial day weekend. It is like Coastal Highway, Waldorf, and Myrtle Beach on steroids all thrown into a 5 mile stretch through the mountains. It took about an hour to get to our campground. Finally we arrive at the "Twin Creek Resort"....and they do not have a reservation for us and are fully booked for the holiday! Surely this is some mistake I have talked to these people numerous times about reserving a creek side spot! I am about to lose my cool on this mountain women when thankfully she went to get the owner, Bill. "This woman will just not take NO for an answer" she told him. Bill came over calmly to help figure out what was going on. He helped me realize I had called the place above him in the AAA camp book...opps...I had a reservation at Outdoor Resorts of America about 10 miles down the road. What a nice and helpful guy Bill is, not only that he stopped us on the way out the campground to let us know our gas tank was open. I am sure they got a great laugh at us around their campfire that night.
Back on the road. The only problem with this new campground is that it is not on the trolley route into town and there was no way the Flying Hamburger was going back down towards Gatlinburg.
Chris and I have decided after a few beers around the fire that we will do Gatlinburg another time and "the flying hamburger" is flying back to Apex. (only one day short of our original plan).
This plan was definalty confirmed when we woke up to rain this morning. Apex....here we come!
