Sevierville, TN

  Today we're in Sevierville, TN.  River Plantation RV Park.  this is a really nice Good Sam's park.  It is very large and has a lot of full timers.  I have been getting out and walking everyday trying to get some exercise.  I figure it's going to either ease the aches and pains or put me in a ride-on scooter.  I'm going back to the doctor next week to get another steroid shot.  Hopefully that will hold me for another 4 months or so.  I didn't realize how long or steep the road was up to the front to get a picture of the entry to the park.  Halfway up it seemed longer and steeper than it did at the bottom.  The boys have been swimming quite a bit, as much as they can, and have made some friends here in the park.  Can you spend too much time at the pool?  They have a very nice pool area here including pools, one of which had an inclined slope to get in the pool and a water fountain at one end and a hot tub.
  We haven't been able to get out and do as much as we would like due to financial constraints at the time but hopefully we'll at least get in some miniature golf or something. This is the perfect weekend for the synchronous firefly.  This is an occurrence that only happens here in the Smoky Mountains from what I understand.  Haven't been able to get to see them mainly because of the weather but am hoping that it will clear up by this evening and will take a trip to the National Park.  You can check this out for yourself at r http://www.nps.gov/grsm/naturescience/fireflies.htm.
  Rain last night.  It was quite nice actually to sit there under the trailer awning and watch and listen to the rhythm of the falling rain(hmm good song title in there).  This morning it was raining again.  This time it was really coming down.  The wind was blowing so hard that I was beginning to worry about the awning.  It calmed down enough to get back outside again and visit with my early morning friend that comes by every morning.  This robin red breast is there every day digging up worms.



  Had to refill the LP gas for the first time today.  It wasn't that bad $25 for the 30lb tank.  I thought that was a reasonable price for that.  We'll see how long that lasts.  We will be here for several more days before getting back on the road and heading to Lebanon, TN which we will call home for the next month or so.

See you down the road
