Pigeon Forge Day 1

This morning we left Frisco at 6:15 - who knew Ron would get up early to go on a trip!! We had been planning to leave at 6:30 and at 6 my phone rang and it was Ron asking if I could be ready in 10 minutes!

We stopped for breakfast at Waffle House in McKinney. YUM! And then headed east. It was a LONG drive. We stopped at the Arkansas welcome rest area and walked the dogs. Then stopped for gas and linchpin at McDonalds in Arkadelphia. Stopped at one more rest area in Arkansas. Then crossed the Mississippi which was really really full - actually over its banks on e west side - into Tennessee.

The one thing that I left at home was Breck's shock collar and as we continued on the drive I realized that I really did need it. So in Memphis we found a PetSmart to get a new one. They didn't have one like his old one but they had another with rechargeable batteries. I bought it but it should charge for 24 hours before using - not going to make that. Hopefully, 13 will be enough!! Actually just putting it on hi and pointing the controller at him is usually enough!

The we get to the campground and great googly-woogly it is a DUMP. To put it mildly!!!! No tv - really just an afterthought to a mobile home park. Breck could jump across the dog park. Really awful - but we are just here for the night - hoping to head out at 6 tomorrow morning.

All for entry #1. Tomorrow is another long day of driving but then we get to stay pu for 4 days!
