Great Tennessee Campground
Went down for an Open Range rally to the Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge, TN. If
you're thinking of a trip to Gatlinburg or the Great Smokies, this is a super place to stay. Very impressive campground. Our site (and it was the cheapest. The next jump up got a beautiful fireplace. None available when we booked.): http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...nessee%201.jpg Even the dog enjoyed the view: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...nessee%207.jpg Morning view: http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...essee%2016.jpg -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

'Glamping' - glamorous camping. === Land yachting. :-) Don't tell Harry how bit it is - he'll get glamper envy. When we pulled in, there was a guy in the next site over with a 'lite' (cheap?), small towed trailer. He came over to say hello and within a minute told me about his 42' 'motor yacht' on the Tennessee River and his mountain home up in the Great Smokies. Oh well, at least he didn't brag about a non-existent gun collection and the owls in his back yard. === A mountain home up in the Great Smokies would be a great place to spend part of the summer. |

RV'ing just has no appeal to me...driving long distances on the interstates or worse roads, towing a motel room, and setting up where you are depending upon nothing more than a boat toilet, A/C that depends upon the vagaries of a campsite, loud and sometimes drunk near neighbors, little kids running amok, et cetera. |

That Broadmoor place was a bit upscale for us too but we got a great deal because there is a professional courtesy among country club types. My wife's F&B manager knows the Broadmoor guy. We paid for the cheapest room in the house and got the nicest suite. We still get suite when we get a hotel most of the time but we really like renting houses. |

May go pick up a new truck camper there next week in Denver. Wife has a 55th class reunion, so may skip town. |

We rented a condo this past summer at Hilton Head...it was better than sleeping on a boat! Recently zipped up to Baltimore for a game and stayed the night at the Baltimore Hilton, which literally is across the street from the ball park. Pretty decent hotel and, of course, Baltimore is chock full of very good restaurants. $25 to park overnight - crikey! :) |

The Navigator had the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on and the gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) rocking was a natural sleeping pill. |
