Gatlinburg is just a couple hours away.
We drove there once, and the number of tourists was overwhelming. We really didn’t want to see all the entertainment stuff but the Smoky mountains. Then we realized it looked exactly like it does back home so we didn’t need to make the trip anymore.
But it is very popular. And I hope Dollywood isn’t going the way of Disney, she’ll be getting a lot more business if she doesn’t.
I believe I heard Dolly say that she doesn’t get involved in politics so I don’t think there will be any way Dollywood would turn into Disney.
When I was a kid we went to Gatlinburg several times. Really nice back then.
We used to go to Yosemite a lot too, ow sooooo many people.
