Very nice WD! Great way to unwind, just chill in Nature...

Thanks for the wonderful post and beautiful picturesque photos, Patrick!

Congrats on getting away - that's very important and something many of us should be doing more of, I guarantee you that.

I think I know what Ms. WD was thinking in that photo.....why in hell does UT have to be the best 4 loss team in the country? :)

Have fun!!!

Patrick for the win. A happy wife is a happy life. You've got both. well done.

Too many work and never enjoy the fruits of their labor. Time is more precious than money.

It was a rental cabin somewhere between Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. I'm not sure exactly where. Once you start driving those twisties it's hard to tell where the hell you are. I did a google earth search and actually found it. I got my iPhone out and measured the slope at the last part of the road - it was 18 degrees, which doesn't look like much unless you are looking over the hood of a truck and can't see anything but sky front, left, and right.
The thing marked "hill" is the hill you see on the right in all the photos I posted.

Looks like a Cialis commercial�� I'm jealous!

Too cool. Looks great. I was born and raised in the Tri Cities about 90 minutes east of where you are. What area is Mrs. WD from?
I plan on eventually getting some property back there.
Just a bunch of acres near some water to park a camper at various times throughout the year. I'll probably always use the Phx area as my base of operations, though.

I think we may have stayed there, that loop at the bottom and those twisties look awfully familiar. Sky Harbor or something similar.

Great for you. Sounds long overdue. It's important to keep a balance between work and play. Now, I'm considering a Tundra; that is where you got my attention?

They sure have proven adept at swooping in at the last minute and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this year. Mrs WD has no interest in football, but is fully supportive of my obsession.

I'm considering a new one. I noticed another chunk came out of the frame while I was under it getting it ready for the trip. I love this truck but it's rusting out from under me. Gonna look at the Ecoboost Ford too.
