Today’s adventure was the Hillbilly Bus Tour. Mr Charley saw the ad, thought it would be fun, so we booked it. Trip was 2 hours, had to be there by 10::00 am. What we failed to notice was it stopped at the Old Smoky Moonshine Distillery and we had “free tastings”. LOL‼️ As much as I’d love to taste a couple, my tummy said it’s too early, you’re older than you think. Needless to say I just walked around and looked. I couldn’t believe how many different flavors there were. Those 3 or 4 you see in the liquor store is a just a small sampling. Mr Charley tasted the blackberry but said it was more like blackberry wine & with as little as he drinks it wasn’t worth the money.
The traffic around Gatlinburg was awful so I didn’t get as many pics as I would’ve liked. When the tour was over we decided it was too much traffic to drive to Cades Cove, so we may do it tomorrow on our way out.
Here’s some pics from the tour bus:

Tonight is Paula Deens Lumberjack Feud. Mr Charley gets his “Paula Deens” and I get a show. It’s all about compromise. 😂 We’ll see which is better.
Well….the Lumberjack show was pretty good. The food was OK. I CANT BELUEVE THE ONLY SWEET TEA THEY HAD WAS THAT FAKE CRAP OUT OF A FOUNTAIN MACHINE‼️ Needless to say Mr C got a coke & I got a root beer. I also didn’t like the way they kept pushing you to buy stuff, but I guess that’s the nature of tourism in a seasonal location.
Here’s a few pics.
All in all, glad we did it; wouldn’t do it again.
Heading back to SC in the morning. Should be there in time for Saturday Coliege Football 🙄. Clemson plays Virginia Tech.
