Day 4 found us in Townsend, TN tubing down the Little River. We pulled into River Rats and got our inner tubes and headed to the put in point. Let's just say that the initial dip into the river was a chilling experience. We quickly got past that point and started the 2 hour trip. It's too bad I had to leave the camera in the car because Dusty managed to do plenty to entertain Rachel and I. There were some "graceful" moves getting in and out of his tube. At one point his hat started floating down the river without him. Then Rachel asked where his sunglasses were. He had put them in his pocket, but now they were property of the riverbed! We had a lot of fun and by the time we reached the end Rachel was ready to go again.
We grabbed a picnic lunch and started all over again. The 2nd time down the sun had made its way out and we managed to get a little baked.
After the 2nd trip we headed to Pigeon Forge. Had a nice view from the motel balcony at this stop. Once again we turned to TripAdvisor and was treated to a #1 ranked restaurant that served gluten free options.
Rachel's pizza sub got the thumbs up! We decided to check out the #1 ranked ice cream place one the way back to the motel. Old Mill Creamery was great! Here we are with our "small" ice cream! I think I had close to a pint of Maple Blondie Brownie in this cup!
We enjoyed our ice cream and some live music. Another great day!
