I definitely know about the fiberglass dog at the American Plunge whirlpool. Are we talking about a different dog, or the same one the same one?

[rubedugans]

We were speaking of the same location on the dog.

Isn't it funny how something as simple as an old photo of an old sign can bring back fond memories of a different time? That sign was one of the first to greet you as you hit that parking lot. Yeah, the excitment was building up pretty strong by that point. (C'mon dad, park the car, let's go to Silver Dollar City! Hey, I can't wait to ride that green tram!)

Man those were the days! Nothing like eggs, sausage, bisquits and gravy, bacon, hashbrowns (or the hashbrowns with onions and peppers) grits on the savory side. On the sweet side they had the strawberries and bananas in a syrupy gooey sugary strawberry sauce, peaches in sugar syrup, and the sweet rolls/ cinnamon rolls with raisins, a big tub of apple butter ...Ahh the memories.

If you're taking requests, do you have any photos or literature of the campground pre-Wilderness? I also thought I read once there used to be a waterslide (at the campground maybe?)

[History Buff]

The waterslide was across the street at the Compton campground.
