A few weeks ago, we pointed the rig East again, this time to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is about a 500-mile drive from home to Townsend, TN where we parked the ORV for a week in the Little Arrow Outdoor Resort.

My last installment left us pulling into Brown County State Park in Indiana. This park, like Turkey Run, was also showing signs of things to come. The place has over 600 campsites with only three or...
