Trip to Tennessee... Day 4






Today was a busy, physical day. The morning was nice and cool and allowed us to cook up some nice campfire coffee and make some scrambled eggs for breakfast. After cleaning up we headed out to Davy Crockett's Riding Stables for an hour or so of horseback riding. We got some very nice horses by the name of Nugget, Nevada, Diesel, and Pet(short for Purgatory). The trail was quite nice and cool under the shade. After finishing that we headed back to camp to get a bite to eat and to rent the tubes for tubing down the Little River which is right next to the campsite. We got to enjoy some very clean, very cool mountain water with the whole family. Gunnar enjoyed the water too, following along the entire way and even making a show of himself in the rapids. People we just amazed to see him paddling along with us. Like they had never seen a dog swim before. I guess they just never thought to bring their dog with on vacation. We did the tubing twice and wer pretty much pooped out by that time. Supper time was close and we were all starting to fall asleep so we made spagehtti and then sat back to watch a movie on the laptop. It was a nice day and very tiring. We were very much ready to sleep by 10pm. Unfortunately it rained at night and kept us up for a few hours and soaked alot of the stuff we had outside... oh well. That is camping. Tomorrow is Gatlinburg!
