It’s nice that he took the day off from his busy schedule as a cult leader to take the youngest of his wives on an outing. I bet she was feeling cooped up at the compound.
Unless you’re from the Midwest, you can’t believe how popular Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge was for weddings, honeymoons, vacations, etc. It didn’t start to get super trashy until the mid 90s. Gatlinburg itself then still had quaint shops and some of the original spirit.

197b. It was a very good year.
That was taken before smiling was invented.
These are the faces of good times!
I’m guessing Gatlinburg wasn’t mom’s first choice
I have a picture of my mom and me on this from 1963
I’m in Gatlinburg right now.
So your dad is Jesus or Charles Manson?
Tell your ma to blink twice if she is being kidnapped. I know it’s been 47 years, but better late than never I guess.
The Dude. And Dudeness.
I guess they wanted a blue one not a yellow one.
Did I see her mouth the words “help me”?
It’s nice that he took the day off from his busy schedule as a cult leader to take the youngest of his wives on an outing. I bet she was feeling cooped up at the compound.
So I was right to be terrified as a child going up in this. I wonder if we got a photo like this from back then..
When the edibles kick in 🙀⛷️
LOL
I’ve been on that lift around the same time this photo was taken. I was a very young boy at the age of 3, but I remember it.
Amazing that photo has the date captured (June 16, 1976)
Your dad kinda looks like Ben Affleck in Argo.
Man that is so cool that can never be duplicated again
Sandals in the cold
Ah, I see Gatlinburg was *always* a lovely place.
I have an almost identical pic of my parents from theirs in 1973!
Gatlinburg in mid Ju-ly?
This has got some American gothic vibes
Pops looks like every drug cartel runner in every 70’s movie
Dad looking like “It’s all fun and games until somebody get hurt”
The Dad abides.
Someone wanted the beach and to relax and someone said we’re riding a hunk of metal to look at some trees
I know that lift. Great memories.
Directed by Wes Anderson.
John Lennon and that girl from Casper.
Great photo. I am getting Wes Anderson vibes.
They seem to really enjoy themselves…
197b, my favorite year
Jesus heading home

I have the same picture of my grandparents on this ski lift! Their picture is June 9th 1979.
