Gatlinburg Brewing Company
Gatlinburg Brewing Company in Gatlinburg, Tennessee has been around for a long time, but just recently opened a taproom right in downtown historic Gatlinburg. We visited the taproom for the first time on a Monday in the middle of the afternoon and the brewery was doing great with most bar seats taken. The taproom is…

As many of you may know ever since Lora, Roxie, and I (Duane) started full time RVing, we have also been searching for a place to call home. A place we know is always there waiting for us as we travel and explore North America. During our travels so far, we had narrowed the location…

Read MoreTarpon Springs to Gatlinburg, 2019
We were very happy in Florida for the winter and not yet ready to venture north, but Lora found a lot for sale in a tiny home resort in Gatlinburg, TN. These lots were moving fast and so we sprinted out of Florida and into the cold of Tennessee in the winter. About 50 miles…

After spending Christmas with family in Maryland and Virginia, the weather started turning cold and we felt the urge to go south. We like to travel leisurely so we took three days to get to our first stop in Florida, Bulow RV Resort in Flagler Beach. Bulow RV Resort was hardly a resort, but we…

Read MoreYee-Haw Brewing Company
Yee-Haw Brewing Company in Pigeon Forge, TN is part of “The Island” complex. It’s a small taproom that serves only the Yee-Haw beers and a small selection of bar food. We liked the IPA and the Pale Ale. Their food selection was terrible so don’t come here hungry like we did. We had their giant…

Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Mills River, NC was a grand and beautiful facility. The taproom and restaurant were huge with an outside dog friendly section that included a smaller menu. The day we went, a Sunday, we got the last two seats at the bar. Lora stuck with the Pale Ale while I did…
