Leave Gatlingburg with food for two days. This is what I saw as I was leaving new found gap yesterday: apparently there's some sort of shutdown going on? You should see all the cars lined up trying to get into any of the GSMNP attractions. I bet it's a boon for Dollywood. So I figure I'll just get dropped off at the barriers and see if anyone tries to stop me. Really I can see them emptying out the campgrounds but the whole AT? The signs say all "facilities" Are closed. I think that means toilets and drinking fountains at the fancier and bigger pull outs. I bought a liter of spring water, new batteries for my headlamp and two suppers this town trip. The spring water because after drinking my filtered spring water this town stuff taste bad. I did walk down Main street as far as I could stand it . I think I got as far as the Fillets Believe it or Not Museum. The one with the pseudo cracked brickwork just past TGIFs and the Cars of the Stars museum. It looked like Times Square.

ReplyDeleteFG...fishing was slow, but the foliage was amazing...the FL+P knuckleheads had let all of the water out of Azicohos before the end of fishing season...we fished the Richardson - remote, and beauriful, between upper dam and middle dam...we toasted you from Sarge's - probably what caused you to forget you boot inserts...that is some good salesman who can sell you boots in Maine and inserts in TN..the guy gets around...great to hear of your exploits...can it really e you are going on 3 weeks?
