Where is this?

Let's see how good you are at guessing a location.  Where was this picture taken?

Here are some hints:
   1. The picture was not taken in Gatlinburg.  In fact, it was not taken in Tennessee
   2.  The picture was taken 83 miles from All Decked Out and Smoky Mountain Tower.
   3.  The picture was taken on private property.
   4.  The picture was taken exactly 4.3 miles from a place we enjoy visiting on our way to and from Gatlinburg.

That should be enough hints.  Let's hear your best guess.  We'll reveal the answer before the weekend is over.

Look at the reflection

I just noticed something in the picture I posted last week of the Dillsboro Chocolate Factory.  Go back and look at the reflection in the store window.  Did you see the newest attraction in Pigeon Forge.  Take a look again (this is a little closer picture).

Yep, that is one big ferris wheel!  It's located just a couple blocks west of the Chocolate Factory store at a new place called "The Island in Pigeon Forge."

The wheel is 200 feet tall, has 42 gondolas that each seat 8 people.  Hmmm - that's exactly the number that we can sleep at either Smoky Mountain Tower or All Decked Out!

So now you have one more reason to stay with us.  Go enjoy The Wheel - and lots more at the newest Pigeon Forge attraction!  It's only 20 minutes from either All Decked Out or Smoky Mountain Tower.
