After driving a while through Tennessee we came to Pigeon Forge. We had booked a motel room in Gatlinburg which was just on the other side. Gatlinburg is an entrancetown to the Great Smokie Mountains national park and we wanted to have a look around there. Pigeon Forge is also an entrance town. To Dollywood. Dolly Partons own Tennessee Themepark. This has apparently turned Pigeon Forge into a veritable Hillbilly Vegas. It was frightening.
Before the carnival sphere started, there were just huge billboards everywhere displaying the wonders of the place.
In between the commercials for Comedy Barn there were the ones for the Christian musical "Miracle"... and in between the carousels and minigolf there were crammed gaudy churches with electric billboards running gospel quotes and invitations into the arms of Jesus.
Comedy Barn seemed to be something especialy scarry. I mean look at this guy holding that pig. He really looks a little too happy about it.
And there were Bears. On Display! To be fed and looked at. I cant help but wonder how the Bears really felt about that.
Gatlinburg was much the same really , but I must say that Pigeon Forge is the must disturbing place I have ever been.

Pidgeon Forge looks really, realy spooky.
So the obvoius question - Was Mia fed to the bears?
Mia was not fed to the Bear.. and in Pigeon Forge she was a lot more afraid of Hillbilly. Hillbilly was scarrier than Bear could ever be!
Oh yeah? Really?
I'll pay that redneck SOAB a visit - when I have freed my cousins from that cave.
