Come visit us in East TN and see the Smokey Mountains! I would certainly love to. Not sure I will ever get there again.. My son lives in Memphis and it is a lot easier for him to travel than us old folks, plus he can arrange to fly for free. lawson56, meflick and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an AWESOME time. My wife and I use manual wheelchairs. It's rare to see someone else in one other than the hospital. With a picture like that, I see a pattern coming! RJF One wheelchair note, Our family lived on the big island HI for several years. The town we lived in had old buildings with steps. We couldn't get into one store. Another odd thing there is not one store had a public washroom and posted employees only washrooms. Was an odd outing as we tried to figure out were to go to the bathroom away from our place.

Woodmaster1 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Looks like it was nice trip. My daughter lives in Fayetteville I don’t get down to see her very often. Last summer we went to Pigeon Forge great views of the Mountains. She did live in Bell Buckle and on a ridge outside of Mulberry. The ice cream shop in Bell Buckle was worth the trip. Glad to see you a lot of fun traveling around the state. lawson56 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Tennessee is mine and my wife favorite state that we've been to so far.. Visited Pigeon Forge years ago and the smoky mountains etc back maybe 8-10 years ago.. then about 4 years ago went and stayed in a cabin at Dale Hollow.. Our most memorable time on that last trip was going to Cummins State Park and hiking back to the big water falls..
