Wind, Rain, tourists

Last night was extremely windy. The camper was kinda shaky. At midnight we got new neighbors- a big camper, the wind was blowing and they left about 12:30 (we think to a lower campsite). At 4:30 am the cooker blew over- Bob went out and picked up the pieces. We also lost our dishpan. (guess we'll have to use paper plates)
The rain started about 9 am.

We went into Gatlinburg to be tourists. We had driven through a few times but hadn't walked around. Parking is at a minimum (and can be rather expensive) I wanted to go to the Easter Craft Fair at the Convention Center. We found a parking lot near there, and there were places left. There is a school of Arts and Crafts and an 8 mile drive of crafters .
We saw lots of nice things, got some ideas, and made a couple purchases (limited by the fact everything had to fit in the Miata). We then walked -about 10 minutes-(didn't dare give up our parking space) in the rain to the Smoky Mountain Brewery. There were free parking places in front of the brewery. We dried out, watched the rain, had a couple drinks and a nice meal. It finally stopped raining so we walked back to the car and drove back to the campground.

It's raining again now and we're under a tornado watch until 9pm. I think the line of thunderstorms is now about gone and north of here. Rain is desperately needed but we'd just as soon skip another windy night.
