Winter Excursion 8, Day 197

We woke up after a great night's sleep around 0830. A little camp clean up and showers were in order this morning.
Around 1130 we left for a day trip. First stop was the Lodge Cast Iron factory store. I checked it out in about 10 minutes and then sat with Kaylee in the truck. Cath came out sometime later. Next came Tennessee Legend Distillery. We did a little tasting and got a few bottles of some Good Ole Tennessee Whiskey.

We then drove to the Bush's Bush's Visitor Center and had lunch at the Bush's Cafe. It was very good and the fries were to die for. 
We got a few pics of the Smokey Mountains on the drive.

We shopped a little at the store, but was disappointed they were out of their Jalapeno Bean Dip.
Our last stop was not in the area last year, but was under construction. We gassed up at Buc-ee's!
This one is not your everyday Buc-ee's. It is the largest in the world! It is at the intersection of I-40 and I-81. They have 128 gas pumps! Here's a panorama pic to prove it (click on it to open).  It is not curved, that's what the panorama pic looks like. We had never seen any gas station like this. We did go into the store. It was the largest convivence store we've ever seen.
Back at camp we made sure the awning tube would fit into the camper. We got lucky!
