We were just in that area at the end of March and beginning of April. Alum Creek sounds familiar, but I don’t know if it’s from there or somewhere else.
You’re certainly not hauling that sucker to either of the cabins we stayed at. We were between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, off of the main drag to the east about 1,000 feet higher than the main thoroughfare. Lovely scenery with the hills and all, but damn, I couldn’t drive that every day.
Don’t feed the bears.
