They call this Kissing Gorillas (Can you see why?)
These Godzillas footprints were dug 6 feet deep, but they had to fill them in because the cows were falling in them.
The ranch was a pretty far drive from our hotel. Chris and I had gone on a really cool ATV ride a few years back in Gatlinburg. We'd gone down there in the off-season and were the only ones taking the trail ride that morning. The guide took us to places he couldn't have taken a big group. There were times on that ride when I thought for sure the ATV was going to flip over as it navigated over the rocks on the mountain. We also drove through a creek on that trip. (I made it through and Chris got stuck and had to be towed out, ha.) So, with that trip in mind, we had a feeling this ride was going to be really lame. And, it would have been, if not for the scenery. We all had to stay in a line on a very smooth trail at fairly slow speed. A lot of movies have been shot on this ranch. It's also where they shoot parts of the TV show Lost. I'm sorry to report girls, I have no pics of the hot Lost guys, but the guide said the Lost crew would be coming the following week. I don't watch Lost, but we saw where they shoot the golf course scenes. The terrain was so green and beautiful. We stopped at several of the movie locations so people could take photos: Jurassic Park, Godzilla, 50 First Dates, Windtalkers, Pearl Harbor, You, Me and Dupree. The Pearl Harbor site was an old authentic World War II bunker. This ranch was taken over by the government during the war because of its strategic location. Even though the ATV part was not the extreme experience we were looking for, we still had a great time on the ride.
