Just heard from one of our other rep teams that Camp Club USA, one of the Good Sam enterprises, has been sold to Passport America. Here’s the info from the Camp Club USA website: “We recently announced that Camp Club USA members will now become members of Passport America, the leader in 50% off discount camping. As a member of Passport America, you will enjoy over 1,800 campgrounds where you can receive 50% savings on nightly camping. If you are a member of Camp Club USA, you will automatically receive a membership card from Passport America equal to the months remaining on your Camp Club USA membership, plus one additional bonus month free. We are working closely with Passport America to make sure this transition is a smooth one for all of our members. To read the full notice from Good Sam Enterprises Chairman & CEO Marcus Lemonis regarding this transition click here.”
More discounted parks added to the Passport America line-up is great…more choices for inexpensive camping as we travel.

Pigeon Forge
We arrived in Pigeon Forge on Friday afternoon. The trip through the mountains, from North Carolina to Tennessee, on Interstate 40 was really pretty. The foliage was still very colorful and the trees were holding their leaves. Quite a winding road but nothing compared to 411 south that leads into Pigeon Forge. Holy Mackeral….the first 11 miles were pretty wicked. We came by the Bush’s Beans plant…very large plant in the middle of no where. We got to Eagles’s Nest campground and got set up. They are a Passport America park…so half off for the length of our stay. We’re not sure how long we’ll be here so paid till Monday ($66). We have a phone meeting with our boss this evening and will get our schedule.
Hanging out with Hugh and Dianne, our trainers with AGS. They are here working 14 parks over a three month period. They will finish up end of November and then go back to their condo in North Carolina. This is the only assignment they do every year (but heck what a big job it is). Dianne has been dying to see our trike so she tried it out by sitting on it. Last night we went to see Country Tonite, a country show in Pigeon Forge. They’ve started their Christmas show so the first hour was the regular country show and the second hour was the Christmas show.
It was very good and the comedian in the show, Bubba was hilarious. He did this one spoof on the song, “Jesus Take The Wheel” but instead it was Cletus Take The Reel….oh my, it was funny. Had a really good time and it was a fun night out. Today Hugh and Dianne are coming over to watch the race with us and grill out. Tomorrow we might take the trike out and get some riding in before we leave this beautiful area. Would hate to leave and not see any of the back country roads. We hear the rumble of bikes on the road, that goes past the campground, and know this area is a favorite for bikers. The Dragon Tail, an 11 mile stretch with 318 twists and turns is something we might tackle….stay tuned to see if we take on the Dragon !
