AmericanPressTravelNews-May 10th,–Bob and Barb “On The Road Again” this time in Anderson County-Clinton, Oak Ridge, & Rocky Top, TN.-we dropped our bags and tooth brush at a fabulous condo apartment (which is also on sale now) provided by “Vacations on the Water” in Clinton, TN. Three large bedrooms, two full baths and showers, one with Jacuzzi Tub that we thoroughly enjoyed and relaxed in after a hard day of fishing, museum cruising (more details in next postings), dining and learning all about this Appalachian historical area. Below the condo there is a marina store next door, down the shore a bit, with all manner of boaters and anglers needs and even a weekend restaurant! We went fishing, visited The Museum of the Appalachia for an article for New Pioneer Magazine, and spent quite a bit of terrific times at Oak Ridge, now designated as a National Park. 

The condo unit (with an elevator for convenience) would easily accommodate more than one couple or family and would be an extremely reasonably priced vacation rental. The one we stayed at in perfect condition with totally modern everything, is for sale now.
