March-April 2014 Trip Leg 5

03/30/14 Sunday The cross winds along I26 coming into the Ashville NC made the driving uncomfortable but once we got past Ashville a few miles the winds calmed down and we began to see lots of snow along the roadside and up on the hills but thankfully now on the road. We arrived at River Plantation RV Resort and was setup in site 166 by 1:30PM. Lots of other Tiffin MH already onsite for the TRVN Rally. We went to Bid Daddy’s wood fire pizza restaurant for supper. Really good pizza.

03/31/14 Monday I washed the car and cleaned up the exterior of the MH. Remainder of the day was talking with other Tiffin owners and reading and riding our bicycles.

04/01/14 Tuesday The morning was spent relaxing and reading. About noon Brannon Hutcheon of Custom RV Inc. came to install a Trav’Ler Satellite Dish on the roof on the MH and remove the King-Dome. He also installed an awning over the window in the bathroom. Later we rode out to the famous Bush Brothers Beans visitor center but got there 8 minutes before they closed so we could not go through their museum display area.

04/02/14 Wednesday We drove over to Townsend TN to check out some campgrounds and then drove through the Great Smokey Mountains National Forest up to the entrance to Cades Cove. On the way back to the CG Lena wanted some Tennessee BBQ pork so we stopped at a place called Harvest Moon. They were cooking BBQ in a cooker beside the road and we could smell it as we drove by so we stopped and got some. It was delicious. We returned to the CG and registered for the TRVN Rally. Then went to the Rally Meet and Greet and Ice Cream Social.

04/03/14 Thursday I attended one of the seminars put on by one of the TRVN members. Then we attended the Rally Pot Luck Dinner. Lots of good food.

04/04/14 Friday We attended some more of the seminars including one on Rving to Alaska. From 1-4:30PM we opened our MH up as part of the Tour de Coaches to let anyone that wanted to come in and see our coach and all the mods that have been done to it. That was a lot of fun. Then we went to the Rally BBQ Dinner where we got some more good Tennessee BBQ.

04/05/14 Saturday We attended the Pancake and Sausage breakfast at the pavilion. I sounds like we eat all the time, I guess. But TRVN rallies always have good food. At 10AM we participated in the Rally Flea Market. Lena sold some of her scarfs and I sold some of my woodworking items.

04/06/14 Sunday This was a great rally and we met lots of friendly Rvers. We departed at 9AM and headed for Tanglewood Park in Clemmons NC.
