So, my wife wanted me to take her to Gatlinburg, TN for a couple days so she could engage in one of her favorite pasttimes, spending my money. Since I saw this as an opportunity to photograph more apparatus in that area, I agreed.
We headed out Tuesday morning in the rain, which turned to snow when we went through the mountains, then back to rain in Gatlinburg. Wednesday arrived with blue skies. I was on the road at 6, driving to the most distant target to start the day. I also wanted to avoid Knoxville's morning rush hour, but compared to Atlanta, they really don't have one.
My first stop was a Rural/Metro station in the small community of Heiskell, TN. The apparatus was purchased by the former Heiskell VFD.
