    That's a Tulip Poplar tree flower you found there!

    You camped at my all time favorite place, Deep Creek Federal Campground. I spent almost every summer with my aunt and uncle in Bryson City hence my profound fondness for such a magical place. When my sister and I got too rowdy, my uncle would get a couple of old inner tubes and dump us out at Deep Creek to ride the rapids. That was long before tubing became popular. Once he decided we had burned off enough energy and were literally blue from the icy water, he would take us back home. To this day, I make an annual pilgrimage to Deep Creek before the fair weather campers move in. Oh and by the way, that flower you picked is from a poplar tree. Some people refer to it as a tulip tree.

    I love it when slim shows off other camper builds. Hope he does more of these. Always fascinating to see what people have setup for camping.
    Also great fix on the vent. Caulking gun might also help to. I fix almost everything with that stuff.

    When I was a kid we came to the Smokies every year, always the first week in June. Deep Creek was always our base camp from which we ventured out. I've been there several times as an adult, but it's been far too long since my last visit. Thanks for refreshing some wonderful memories.
    BTW, after a long day of hiking, swimming and tubing the frigid waters we would get a hot coin-op shower at the vendors just outside the park entrance.

    Good to see you out on your travels and your advice is very helpful. I'm off on a 2 week trip from home in Glasgow, Scotland to Gothenburg in Sweden to see Metallica. In my VW Camper- going via the Channel Tunnel, via Amsterdam Holland, Hamburg Germany, Copenhagen Denmark, then back via Brugges in Belgium. 3200 mile round-trip to see the greatest live band I've ever seen again 🤘

    • @Elizabeth-rq1vi
      @Elizabeth-rq1vi Год назад

      Sounds like a great trip…fond memories of doing a road trip or two to see bands. Not Metallica (not my taste but Hubs would do it) but ABBA & Bay City Rollers were great! LOL guess you can guess how long ago it was!
