Off to Lebanon & another rally

Today we made the 180 mile trip to Lebanon, TN with 4 or 5 other HitchHiker friends for the HitchHiker of America, International rally. We have 15 or 16 sites together saved for the Haulin' HitchHikers. It rained most of the way over but the sun came out in the afternoon so we all had the chance to sit around and do some socializing here at the Wilson County fairgrounds.

Moonshine in Gatlinburg

Today we went with Jeff & Susan and Stan & Connie to Gatlinburg and the Old Smoky Moonshine Holler where they make legal moonshine. Jeff & Susan tasted all the varieties but the rest of us passed, no one bought any either. We stopped at Bubba Gumps for some appetizers but later we are having a potluck

back at the campground.

We visit Bush beans and Duke

Today we went with Mel & Dee to Chestnut Hill, TN about 20 miles from Pigeon Forge. It out in the country on a 2 lane twisty road where you'd not expect to see a big bean plant, like my pun? Anyway, it was an excellent visitor center to check out. I know you are curious about this but.....Judy weighs 189,686 beans & I weight 288,000 beans. After this visit we went to Mel's Dinner for lunch. Judy went to the Hatfield & McCoys Dinner Theater then to a comedy club some of the others while I stayed put resting my bum knee.

East Coast Rally

Our web footed guests are not bashful when it comes to food.

Above Paul & Ron were staying dryduring one of the passing rains. Let's see Clayton do this with his motorhome!

Stan, Bill & Paul this morning at the breakfast gathering.

Patches really likes this place, we are backed up to a small river with lots of ducks all around us & in the water. As you can see she's on guard duty & just knows she's get a duck if we let her loose!
