Pigeon Forge- Dollywood



Pigeon Forge- Mill Creek Campground
waiting for the Trolley

Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede!
It is a very fun dinner show with horses, buffalo and good wholesome entertainment.

Meet Sylvia, she is from China, we met her at the Trolly Stop.  She is the traveling the US alone, wolfing (working, on local farms).  She worked at Dollywood to earn traveling money.  Her major is English, she and Megan made fast friends.
So many roller coasters and live entertainment, very fun, it was a great day.



This was the coolest ever; it is kinda like a zip line but you walk across various ropes and ladders, around rocks, levels and heights.
It was scary at first cause Meg and I are afraid of heights but we got better and this old man about 70 helped us.  John stayed on the ground.

They are 2, I was the single rider this time. 

That's Megan and I in the yellow convertable!  It was as fun as it looks, the radio in the car worked and played oldies.

Of course their was the replica of Dolly's childhood home and the Friends and Family of Dolly band, real homey.


recognize this hillbilly?

ummm boy just look at those collard greens and beans, John says it would be enough to serve 10!

Dolly travels in style her "old" bus cost $750,000, very nice but her
new bus 2.5 million, we didn't get to go in that!


I don't think the Parton's are Irish but covering all the bases for those tourists!

Cool 1/2 hour train ride in a coal run train.  Extremely smokey and the ashes fly back onto the passengers, kinda scary ride.

This is the rock you have to scale around, it looked a lot higher when we were up there.

 
Of course it would not be an adventure without incident.  The motorhome keys liked it so well at Dollywood they stayed there.
Luckily we do have a spare....don't look, whew.  A nice salad and some yatzee to detox from all that "amuse" ment.
Thanks for following along, God is taking really good care of us. We miss you.  Sorry Julia Rose, Sally didn't get to come with us today.
