DaveInTN 3,247 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Continuing on, some were getting a bit hungry, so we stopped for a snack at Johnny Rocket's. Were hoping for something besides a chain, but the chains have taken over: Shoulda gone to Smokey Mountain Brewery. That place is GOOD! And not a chain.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Shoulda gone to Smokey Mountain Brewery. That place is GOOD! And not a chain. I had remembered you writing about that place, be we really didn't know where it was in relationship to where we were, and were mainly combating some quick sugar lows, most of us just got a snack or shared plates. What an awesome day!Lorna's b#%*h looks great! Yes, he does look good! Love that Ri k sang with the band! Rick really enjoyed it and sounded good! Makes us realize how "bad" most of the karaoke sound systems are. Is that his stage name?!? LolLOL Carol and Rick let me have some moonshine tonight. Boy, is it good. Man, I sure am upset I had to miss this trip. I sure hate when life gets in the way of camping but I sure love this moonshine! Yep, we are enjoying some of the shine we managed to bring home :) Double distillery for the win.I got suckered in to the ring and rope thing for my boy. Only cost me around $17 tho. $40 is a total rip off.Rick singing for the second win. No video?Great stuff. Keep it coming. Come on couldn't you go to the hardware store and pick up the parts for $5 :) Wow... I knew Rick was handsome and personable, but talented too ? He looks quite at home up on that stage ! Wish we could have heard the song...Ooops, sorry about the video. That's one setting on the fancy dancy camera that I never think about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Monday dawned beautiful, and several of us wanted to go to Cade's Cove, so we piled into a couple of cars and off we went. I "think" this is one of the cabins off in the distance There are some deer in this pic The pictures don't do the mountains justice More deer We stopped at one of the pulloffs and took some silly pics Hey look, Lorna brought her camera!

momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Shoulda gone to Smokey Mountain Brewery. That place is GOOD! And not a chain.We were disappointed in Smoky Mountain Brewery when we went back in December. Hoping it was just a fluke as it was always one of our favorite places to go.

LORNADUCK 261 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 This was such a fun trip, we had some really good belly laughs. Enjoyed the company, and the moonshine, I have to say I was a little tippsy after tasting some of it. Guess Rich was also, since he fell off his scoter that day. I wasn't there but he gave a few a scare.We are home and it was a hard day at work, I want to go back nowwwwwwwwww Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Missy bought some grits, but we left before we could sample them. We were disappointed in Smoky Mountain Brewery when we went back in December. Hoping it was just a fluke as it was always one of our favorite places to go.We were just looking for something quick, cause we knew we had stuff to cook back at the camper Ditto, can't go to Gatlinburg without stopping at smokey mountain brewery. Did you all drive through Elkmont camp grounds in the smokies on the way to Cade's cove? Awesome campground but limited power We saw a campground sign, but never ventured down the road. Looks like you had so much fun! We did! I'm late but in! I wish we could have come this time! We would have loved to have you! Great pictures! Rich looks great! Thank you for sharing the pics! He does look great! Thanks for reading! I paid the $100 fine, I'm too pretty for jail :sarc3: Well, it is all about you!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
