Wish I could be there! even though I'm not from that area. (Although I know my fellow conservatives would always extend a hearty and warm welcome to an out-of-state FReeper.)
I drove across Tennessee one summer, including coming through the area you're talking about -- eastern Tennessee is absolutely beautiful. (And it didn't hurt that I got to eat barbecue for three meals a day!)

Pingaling ... you might want to drive over and see the camping area, for the story telling festival visits you make.

> Come down and camp with us! Thank you, sincerely, for the invitation -- I would love to see Tennessee again. Unfortunately, I've been out of work for a long time and am living on "survival income." If I don't have any job leads by April, then.... well, let's stay positive.
HOWEVER, your fellow FReepers expect a full after-report, along with pictures!

Got turned around a bit, here's a correction:
"About a mile from Pickens Bridge Road you will pass a restored historic log house on the right (the Jesse Crouch historic home site), the picnic grounds are just down the road on the right LEFT, across from a large log house and log cottage, on the right up the hill."

For some strange reason Google Maps is not showing the address, BUT if you google map ‘Katies Way, Johnson City, TN 37615’ you will have the precise location. The entry to the picnic grounds is to the left and just before arriving at the loop road called ‘Katie’s Way’ (a subdivision up there).

Will see if we can work it out. Son’s birthday is that weekend and he wants to have some folks over. Can’t leave a bunch of 18 year olds at the house to trash.

Thank you so much for the opportunity for Freepers in this part of the country to finally get together. I know that we will have a great time.

I hope folks will RSVP, me and my two old cats can’t eat too many leftovers if few show up and I’ve catered in too much food. The camping would be fun, too.

Darn! Drat! Sorry! We can’t! Number One Nephew’s wedding down in South Carolina! As a man, weddings are not way up high on my "can't wait for the next one" list. But, as a husband and a brother, my "man-sense" tells me what is what as far as my list goes!

Any "secret" barbecue joints by you -- ones that only the locals know about?
When I was in Memphis, instead of heading directly to The Rendezvous (like a tourist would), I made it a point to ask the motel concierge "Where do the locals go for barbecue?" He told me "Neely's Interstate Barbecue" -- which turned out to be the best BBQ joint I've ever visited!

Dixie BarBQ on North Roan Street is one of our best. There is also a very good one on HWY19E, on the road from Bristol Speedway to Elizabethton. Golden Rule is not bad, but Dixie is one of our best. There is or was a really fine one in Kingsport, run by a blackman who ‘trained’ in Ensley, AL near the Football stadium where one could on the weekend drive the street and numerous homemade cookers were out aromatizing the air. (Best BQ I ever ate was from a little old black Lady who cranked her drum up every Saturday morning on football day, right out on the curb! That Lady could cook! I would purchase pounds of pulled pork and eat on it all week.

Didn’t Alton Brown include Neeley’s in one of his roadshown episodes? Alton Brown is my favorite TV star, BTW.
