GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS GAMBLER 500

Covering the Great Smoky Mountains and all of Appalachia, this group promises to show you the BEST of the back roads throughout the region.

The GSMNP straddles the Smoky & Blue Ridge Mountains along the Appalachian Mountain chain. This is one of the most visited national parks in the US with scenic views and amazing wildlife.

The Chattahoochee-Oconee, Pisgah, Nantahala & the Cherokee National Forests provide the acreage we need to run around and do Gambler things in the woods. 

Since it's recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament and behavior of it's inhabitants. Moonshining & clan feuding are sensationalized. Truth is these are great folks. Come and see.

My family has strong ties to Appalachia. My Aunt Sorrel, God rest her soul, was a composer and supporter of women's rights during her lifetime. Enjoy one of her compositions celebrating southern speech and southern musical traditions.

Oh, she give me moonshine whiskey. Oh, she give me southern love. There beneath the stars above. Oh, she gives me Southern Comfort. Oh, she give me moonshine love. There beneath the stars above.

Where are we doing this? Secret for now, but your hint is 'big ribbit'. 

When will the shenanigans begin? Looking at June 16-19, 2022. Limited attendance event. Gotta put a new roof on the coop.

The longest running public service campaign in the US. Smokey has signed up to make an appearance and help us pick up trash. Gggrrr, baby. Very gggrrr.

Even the most beautiful places in the world shows evidence of man's passing. Trash is no good, so we pick it up while out having fun. Support the Son's and join the 501c3 non-profit gang to make the planet a better, cleaner place.
