Our Location today is Sevierville, Tennessee.
Once again last
night we slept with the bedroom window open all night expecting to be awaken by
rain. The Weather Reports from multiple stations had guaranteed that we would
have rain last night. This morning we both woke to see dry pavement on the
roads and on our patio.
After breakfast was
finished while we were on the computers we received a call from Gary the
manager at the local Verizon Outlet. He explained what was happening as far as the
credit to our account. Kathy and I talked about not being captives in the
trailer waiting for further communication from them and thought we would
explore a section of town that we had only seen from afar.
Shortly after 11:00
we headed down the parkway in search of the Old Mill section of town. We weren’t
too far down the road when the skies opened up it finally started raining. We continued
turning down a number of roads only to end up back on the parkway. The reason
that was happening was due to Pigeon Forge being built on mountainous hillsides
most roads around here don’t travel in straight lines. After driving like this
for nearly an hour and getting ready to return to the trailer for lunch we
finally turned onto the right road.

The best part was
the area was right next to the Municipal Parking Lot where parking was free. You
could also get on the Pigeon Forge trolley cars that would take you all over
town for the huge price of fifty cents. Kathy and I were more interested in
looking around more of the local Artesian Shops where the locally made wares
were being made.
The Old Mill
Farmhouse Kitchen was one place where locally produced preserves were sold and
if you were not sure if you would like the product the clerk behind the counter
would let you have a sample taste. Next The Old Mill General Store we found a
T-shirt for me to add to my collection. It was now past 2:00 and we were
getting hungry so we went to The Old Mill Pottery House Café & Grille where
we enjoyed French Onion Soup and Porter Burgers that filled us up. We only ate
half our sandwiches and brought the other half home for supper later.
The rain finally
stopped by 4:00 when we stopped at the local Verizon Outlet where we spoke to
Michelle the assistant manager. She explained what she was told would take
place in fixing our accounts by the Inverness Florida Outlet. She was even able to
answer a few other questions that we had never been explained before.
Since the Weather
Forecast in the Knoxville district was for severe thunder storms this evening
and rain through the morning tomorrow. I decided to empty and clean the waste
tanks and hook up the truck before having supper. This way if it is raining in
the morning when it’s time for us to leave I can stay a lot dryer. Not sure where
we will end up but heading north for sure! Thanks for following along
and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
