We got up this morning, packed up, and went for our final walk through the campground. We said goodbye to our New Jersey friends in the Cougar, who were also preparing to leave. They are headed back home, stopping tonight in Virginia. We are always “home” wherever we are.
We decided to make a very short trip today, to Douglas Dam Headwater Campground, a TVA facility. It’s just north of Sevierville, and we found it in our Day’s End directory. We found a wonderful spot overlooking the lake, and our site has electric and water, real luxuries, and at $10 per night with our senior access passes. We hooked up our DirecTV, so now we’re back in touch with the world.
Well, sort of. When we arrived, we briefly had an Internet connection using our Verizon modem, but it has been either almost or entirely useless. We’re hoping things will be better tomorrow. We’ve paid for three nights, and unless our Internet connection becomes more reliable, we’ll probably leave on Sunday.
We also got back our TV connection just in time to learn that the Dow plunged nearly 400 points today, and the world hasn’t gotten any better since our last news.
Tomorrow we’re planning to go to some of the outlet stores, which are apparently a dime a dozen in this area.
