After four nights at Circle E Guest Ranch (see previous post here), we started toward our next destination, Pigeon Forge. Our reservations weren't until the next day so we needed to find an RV park for the night. We were happy to discover Spring Lake RV Resort in Crossville, TN. It was a quiet, pretty park with spacious sites, most of which back up to a nice little lake.
I love the colorful Adirondack chairs
lined up next to the tree.
A view across the lake.
On the far left, you can see
some of the RV's backed up to the lake.
Our site was down there toward the end.
I snapped this panoramic view of
the lake when we were leaving.
This cute park was a great place to stop!
I wouldn't mind spending a few
relaxing days there sometime.

but observe the plethora of things to do.
I'm only posting a couple pics though.
It'd be a good place to
bring kids and grandkids.
We rolled into Rivers Edge RV Park
The park had lots of mature trees
but the sites and roads were a bit tight.
Nevertheless, the park served our purpose.
The road has gray gravel on each side of
it which makes it look bigger in this
photo than the actual size.
It's always fun to explore
(The link above is a neat video.)
The Place is open all year long and
it's a must visit for us every time.
It's big and festive as you would expect.
There are lots of rooms too.
We HOPE to visit again soon.
It's one of my fav places out here!
One morning, we enjoyed breakfast at the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant & Grill. It was yummy! While waiting for our food, they brought us biscuits and apple butter in which to dip them. It's akin to getting salsa and chips at a Mexican restaurant.
Once we finished eating, we made our way through the Apple Barn Village to The Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store to buy some of the tasty apple butter. The store is rather sizable as you can see in the photo below, and lots of apple goods and other stuff line the many shelves.
The store was crowded that day, and we were anxious to get to the Gatlinburg Craftsmen's Fair so we didn't explore much. We will certainly do so next time and try the restaurant for lunch too.
Other places in the Apple Barn Village are a
as well as a Candy store
and another restaurant.
Heck, there may even be more for all I know.
Much to George's delight, one morning
we roamed through some man shops.
The sign outside the area
dubbed it a "Daycare for Men."
I'm thinking Tim Allen on Home Improvement.
Ehr, ehr, ehr, ehr!
Tools!
A store after his heart!
He had a good time in all the stores though.
We intended to experience Dollywood
on this trip but that didn't happen.
there's an endless amount of things to do
and we ended up doing other stuff!
Smiles,
