Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg?
Big Kahuna aka John replied to h2odivers...Ray's topic in Pictures from other Campgrounds
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 -
Medical Care while at WDW
Big Kahuna aka John replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
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 -

Campground Needed Near Fredericksburg, VA
Big Kahuna aka John replied to fladogfan aka Gretchen's topic in Regular Vacations
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 -
Campground Needed Near Fredericksburg, VA
Big Kahuna aka John replied to fladogfan aka Gretchen's topic in Regular Vacations
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 -
Campground Needed Near Fredericksburg, VA
Big Kahuna aka John replied to fladogfan aka Gretchen's topic in Regular Vacations
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... -

TCD is Thankful for Thanksgiving @ The Fort 2014
Big Kahuna aka John replied to Tri-Circle-D's topic in Trip Reports
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... -
