I think our normal vacation of spending a week in a cabin on a lake in the rockies, seeing maybe a dozen people total, ruined our definition of "going on vacation in the mountains."

-=edit=- to clarify... Gatlinburg, pigeon forge, sevierville... it's a 12-mile-long clusterfuck of carnival sideshows and metal-fatigue "hillbilly rollercoasters" and ripleys-branded shit museums and a 24/7 traffic jams of trustfund kids in their shiny riceburning carollas with popcorn popper mufflers.

Literally any where else in the country would be quieter, more relaxing, more stress-free.

I don't understand why people would go back.

dude it's fucking awesome.

went to the Smokies with some buddies backpacking. got rained out last day and went into town. fucking a. should have done a trip just to Gatlinburg.

lots of fun, great food, tons of bars and entertainment, great looking women who aren't liberal freaks. we didn't but it looked like renting a side by side and crusing through the streets and trails would be a fucking blast.

was a bit commercialized ( i think something like 20 dinner shows, but hey if that's your thing) but i thought it was a great place.
