Savannah Tennessee

We got an early start this morning as we had a 375 mile drive to our new location in Savannah, Tennessee. It's the closest location we could find with a decent, low cost RV Park near the Shiloh Civil War National Park in Shiloh, Tennessee. We passed a rather large Farmers Market and hope it's open tomorrow so we can stock up on tomatoes and cantelope.

Our current plan is to spend tomorrow touring the Shiloh National Military Park all day. It was supposed to be the 'bloodiest' battle of the Civil War. This location was also a good stopping point before moving on to the Smoky Mountains, which will be a relatively 'short' 250 miles. We still need to do some research on where we'll be staying when we leave here Monday morning for the Smoky Mountains.

We were planning on spending 3 nights in Pigeon Forge, which is just a few miles from the Smoky Mountain Park. However, after picking up some literature at the Welcome Center when we entered Tennessee earlier today, we discovered Gatlinburg is just a few miles from Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains as well. Pigeon Forge is actually where Dollywood is located, and she has a nightly dinner show called Stampede, that's reasonably priced, so we're considering going there. But, there appears to be lot's of things in Gatlinburg as well.

Anyway, we're in Savannah Tennessee thru tomorrow and are planning on heading to the Smoky Mountains Monday morning. I'll update the blog with pictures from our adventure tomorrow when I get a chance. Stay tuned...~
