Ok sorry again for the huge time delay between posts just been so flat out. So we stannardsville the drive wasn't meant to be that long so we started off mid morning. On the way we stopped off at FOAM HENGE an apparent life size replica of stone henge. It was quite impressive for a tourist trap along the way. So about that drive. It was meant to be about 5 hours, then we hit Pigeon Forge that was meant to be about 15 mins from our destination, but due to CAR SHOW our 15km drive took 2.5 hours. It was a "Rod Run" so there was plenty of very cool cars and trucks but the traffic was terrible!
The cabin was just awesome! Again 3 floors of 3 rooms each with spa baths then a down stairs den with a pool table, poker table and a video game machine! and of course the out door 7 person hot tub. The weather on the first day was a bit poo so we went and had a game of mini golf and looked around the town. The main road into the park through town is littered with mini golf, Ripley's believe it or not attractions, pancake places, it was defiantly cheesy and tacky to say the least. The next morning we headed into the national park and went on a hike up to chimney tops. It was a quite steep uphill walk for about 3 miles. The rock at the top we needed to scale up was quite slippery due to the constant drizzle and I wasn't willing to take the risk of the slide and huge looking drop off the side.
