My part of the woods.... HAVE FUN! But.... DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT do the MOONSHINE TASTING don't drink it if you don't want to have a hell of a hangover the next day and wonder what the heck all happened the day before ... https://www.tnshineco.com/ DO THE ZIP LINE!!! Even if someone is afraid of heights, blah blah blah, they gotta do it! https://www.westgateresorts.com/blog/smoky-mountain-ziplines/ (I like the ones where you go with a guide and do the hard stuff tarzan "survive amongst the trees" sort of extreme challenges - like obstacle course for zip lining. Wear tough clothing for that as you might bump into trees and such. You know, the ones where you really need to have great international insurance, but don't worry most like that are out of country for the crazy dangerous ones.) Around Gatlinburg most are tame and fun. DOLLYWOOD (the rides, whatever... but the MUSIC is really good) I just go to see the great landscaping for gardening ideas, to be honest. BEAUTIFUL - better than Busch Gardens imho. As for food there, yuck really... I suppose I like the Front Porch, but tend to just not eat anything at Dollywood, I really don't like "Southern Food" to be honest... (I am a New England girl at heart.) But right now there is the Harvest Festival Food Pass thingie going on... --> https://www.dollywood.com/themepark/dining/harvest-tasting-pass/#menu and the there is Aunt Granny's Restaurant which is pretty good. HAVE FUN! If staying at a cabin up in the woods, do NOT leave any food outside or eat outside actually ... attracts bears, they are gentle in TN, but still big and wild and we don't want those bears getting hurt (or the other way around.)

Yep we have done most of this. Been here many times. Love it here. Unfortunately 441 is closed so we can't get to most of the park, but that's okay, plenty of things to do. major-mark63 and Majbasil 2 Awards
