August 26, Day 6
Left Bristol, VA/TN on way to Pigeon Forge. Poured rain all day and finally found our campground, Eagle's Nest on Wear's Valley Road. They had a handicapped site, so to speak, that was low with water standing around, but that was the best they had so we made it work. Unhooked the van, but it would not run. We had driven all day in the rain and under the hood was dripping wet. We left the hood up all night to let it dry out and it started the next morning with some coaxing. I had driven in all day rain without any problems, but the engine was hot and kept the moisture evaporated. Will get a barrier installed between the motor home and the van and maybe that will help.

August 27 Day 7
Got the van started and toured the town, boy a lot of traffic for a weekday. Went to Dollywood and saw 5 shows, ate some great food and reallly enjoyed the day. IF we had had time to spend a few more days we would have purchased a season pass for another $33. Ther are lots of things to see and do, a real Tourist Trap, but a really beautiful area.
On west tomorrow.
