Are you putting in a portable plant for a big project or is someone local opening another plant to add to their footprint?

Went there for family vacation one year. Checked off my list and will never go back. It sucks. Per capita, it has the most pancake houses and go kart tracks i've ever seen...

I had to visit family in Kentucky earlier this year. On my way back to Florida I decided to go through Gatlinburg and spend the night. The last pancake place I wanted to check out my list was Pancake Pantry. Plus it was a nice detour to go through GSMNT.

With that said, that was my last bucket list thing to do in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. No desire to go back. Give me a cabin in North Carolina or West Virginia any day over Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.

The surrounding woods is nice. The actual town is kind of trashy, like some South Park episode of a rural white Southern hick town that tries way too hard to appeal to tourists.

This. One of the nicest sites I’ve been on yet.

There’s a greenway along the river. Haven’t run it yet, but will soon.

I live about an hour away and don't mind a quick visit during off times. During peak tourist season I stay far away.

That’s cool. Big central mix or dry batch?

Just left from there this weekend. Those bastards must love their pancakes. Every block has a pancake house.
