Amazon steps up with yet another weird one... a 3 Quart ? for $49.00 It appears that Walmart is still winning the Instant Pot war https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y1YD5W7/ref=nosim/?tag=theblacom06-20

We prefer Pigeon Forge over Gatlinburg for camping. And yes go to the Apple Barn. We spent two weeks in the area and loved every minute. They have several mountain coasters, but the kids loved " Goats on the Roof". We enjoyed Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que also. I also have to tell you that Dollywood has some excellent food that shouldn't be overlooked. Gatlinburg was also fun and as stated Calhoun's and Smokey Mountain Brewery were good. We also had a great lunch at Mountain Edge Grill in Gatlinburg. The Bush's Baked Bean Headquarters and factory is within an hour of Pigeon Forge an

On one of our last trips we ended up at the Centracare on 192 by the Ale House. They were excellent and the visit was fast, efficient and got us back into our vacation quickly. I can also add that they are honest. When we were there, we presented our insurance cards and then paid whatever they had asked for and we were just grateful that they helped. Nearly seven months later, we get a letter in the mail from them and inside is a check. The letter explains that an over payment occurred due to insurance coverage and here was the refund. Seven states and seven months later they send a c

OK all you procrastinators... Your ability to put off buying an Instant Pot is being rewarded. Walmart Black Friday has the 5 QT. on page 32 at $49.00..

Did someone mention gram's potato salad ? I'm on my way....

No problem Keith.... We drove up to the Franconia Springfield Station which is about an hour up I 95. I think it was right around 50 Miles. Nice big parking deck and covered walkways into the metro station. We would take the blue line into the city and then head to the Main Train Station. 3 flights up we would be on the ground/ street level. You can buy your day passes for the grey line trams and take them all over the city and jump on and off. We would time it so we took the last tram for the city out to the Lincoln Memorial late in the afternoon. We then take the outer loop tra

It's about 14 miles from the campground to the convention center. We drove up to the end of the metro blue line and ran that into DC for our day trips. Took it to the central train station and then bought our grey line tickets. Took the final tram to Arlington National Cemetery and then took the blue line from there back to the truck. There is a train that goes from Fredericksburg to the metro line station. ie... beginning of the blue line. We found the hours were not conducive to our travel plans as the trains were very limited in time frames. We elected to drive to the metro s

Gretchen, We stayed there. It was quiet and clean and we would stay there again. Decent restaurants along the highway on the way in. We enjoyed Mimi's Cafe. Make sure you go to Carl's Frozen Custard stand. It was like a block party while everyone waits in line and it moves fast. But it was a great experience. Tasty too...

On yeah... In on post #123... I am paying attention.... This is pure intelligence for our upcoming trip.... Keep coming with all those great details... the good. the bad, the ugly... Your report will be the basis for my DL plan.... Thanks for the all the hard work on this one.

Thanksgiving dinner looked delicious. Spending it at the Fort with family... priceless.... As far as the Bills fan, he won't get that trailer back to Buffalo until April... Unless he has a snow plow attached to the front of the truck...

I'm in and you're off to Cali... Enjoy your time, and have fun in Disneyland. I'm glad you were able to have Thanksgiving at the Fort.

I'm in... This is a great TR so far, and I am so happy to see Rick at the Fort. I gotta get this work thing under control... It is just interfering with my priorities...

Sorry it took so long to sign in... Work is getting in the way of everything.

They finally figured out what to do with all the hair they cut on Main Street. It will be collected and allowed to smolder under the new Fedora.. :raspberry:

Thank You for sharing ! You did an outstanding job on this TR !! :thumbsup2:

I could so live in Radiator Springs... They did a nice job out there. Impressive photos Ray !

It's recommended to wear you backpack in reverse so that it isn't emptied by the pick pocket thieves while you walk down the streets. That particular area of London is a mad house and pick pocket thieves work the area regularly.

I was surprised to see the "Bobby" was armed. That is still very rare for the Metropolitan Police.

Take all the photos that are over there and add a fort fiends watermark... :rofl2:

:rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2: You're killing me AC... And I am completely stoked that Rick is up and around.... And Ed... take your time... you'll get there too...

Ray..... Wish I was with you....

Here ya go ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZhnqkL8tCQ
