Well, here we are at Rocky Top Campground in Blountville (blunt*ville), TN. We are just outside of Kingsport - actually, if we were across the street our address would be Kingsport. We are expecting to be here for the season working as Workampers. It's a pretty park in a hilly area of northeastern Tennessee. We are just miles from Virginia's border, and not too far from North Carolina and Kentucky either.
Our drive from Asheville brought us through the Cherokee National Forest, or should I say "up and over". Our pass was at 3700+ elevation. On the NC side we started around 2200' and Rocky Top sits at 1800'. But the Cherokee should be our new playground for the summer. The National Forest bookends the northeast and southwest points of the Smokies.
The storms that just finished dumping snow on Denver is coming our way in the form of rain for the next few days. Yuk! I hate discovering a new area in the rain. Oh well. Our new bosses are going to let us 'get to know the area' a little before putting us to work Tuesday or Wednesday.
Anyway, click here to see a quick map view of our trip. Pretty direct route, huh?
