Back from Pigeon Forge

Alison's sister & family are over at the moment and this weekend we hired a log cabin up in Pigeon Forge along with another friend of ours.

For those who aren't aware of Pigeon Forge's "attractions", the main strip is full of arcades, family theatres, crazy golf courses and other such fairground fun. The neon lights and sounds are plentiful making it quite a tacky experience.

However, just a few miles away from the main drag are hundreds (probably thousands) of log cabins around the hills and up into the mountains. These usually come complete with an open fireplace and hot tub as well as games rooms. The cabin we had was one of these and it was a fantastic place to stay for a few days.

We also managed to battle our way through crawling traffic to the other end of Gatlinburg and out into the Smoky Mountains for some fantastic views and fresh air.
