We stopped in Cookeville for lunch, drove north to Livingston, and east to Alpine, mostly on Hwy 85. Then we turned south to Monterrey where we picked up I-40. There aren't many roads in that area (now we know why!)but there are lots of houses with freezers and washing machines on the front porch....when there were houses. We are so thankful that there was NO, did I say NO, traffic because we needed both lanes to make those switchbacks. It would have been fun if we had not had the trailer. You should have seen the local people standing in their yards with their jaws dropped open!
But that was not the end of our day of adventure. When we got to our campground here in Pigeon Forge, we got stuck! We're at Walden's Creek CG, next to Creekside CG and the owner had added new crushed rock to the site. Our wheels dug in quickly and the edge of the pavement acted like a blocking device. We had to unhitch, fill in the hole, put down some planks, pullout, move to another site, put down some more planks, jocky around, yadda, yadda, yadda. You get the idea.
But the WiFi is great!
