July 1st - Pigeon Forge, TN, to Cumberland Gap

​We got an early start. We picked up the dogs in Sieverville and drove back roads much of the way to I-25E near Morristown. We stopped in Morristown for lunch, before driving up to our campsite at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. It was a large, shaded camp site with an electrical connection, but no water and sewer. 

We exercised the dogs, enjoyed an arrival celebration cocktail and turned on our audio book "Follow the River" - one account of the true story of Mary Draper Ingalls capture by Shawnee Indians at Radford, VA.  The Indians took her to a village at the confluence of the Ohio and Scioto Rivers - 250-miles away. She eventually escaped and found her way home.
