Hummingbird Posted May 8, 2011 #1 Posted May 8, 2011 around Dandridge Tennessee - I'm leaving around noon on Monday, 5/9/11 to an auction at the Bush Brothers plant in Dandridge. I'll be there Tuesday and Wednesday - depending on how much/what I buy, I may be there til the end of the week.
Eck Posted May 9, 2011 #2 Posted May 9, 2011 Never been there, but a search on ol-reliable google might find you a place.
Hummingbird Posted May 10, 2011 Author #3 Posted May 10, 2011 I found a LOT of places - it's just hard to tell on google which ones are NOT in the ghetto if your not familiar with the area. gonna be here a few days and wanted to be close to the job as well as close to safe
jonesy Posted May 10, 2011 #4 Posted May 10, 2011 You could always wing it, is the place a big city, small town. I went to Benton, Ky. in Dec., had to drop off truck for 4 days, then drive it home, I got there day early, found place I needed to go, then got back to highway found hotel I didn't mind staying at for 5 days, 8 miles away and that was that. Calling auction house doing auction may be able to steer you to a place. just a couple ideas, good luck
Guest scarylarry Posted May 10, 2011 #5 Posted May 10, 2011 I never stay there but look at kodak tn. it is 13 miles from there, I have stay there right off 40 there is a comfort inn that is great and staff is one of the best.. 161 West Dumplin Valley Rd, Kodak, TN. If you are riding your bike there they let us pull on a pad next to the door so the staff could watch it... Drop me a pm if I can help you anymore..
Hummingbird Posted May 12, 2011 Author #6 Posted May 12, 2011 I guess I got lucky - I found a Super 8 just North of Dandridge, clean, comfortable and they had a pool. I went to an auction at the Bush Brothers ( Bush Beans ) old plant just South of Dandridge. My concerns spring from some of the places I've had to go and the facilities in the area need a 24/7 security guard. I've been lucky tho, never had any problems. anyway, all over now - spent a little money and back home this AM.

Hummingbird Posted May 17, 2011 Author #9 Posted May 17, 2011 So Humm what did U buy Gambler:banana: 500 feet of 7" stainless steel conveyor - a little bity stuffed dog and a hat. Bush Beans has a really neat commercial with the talking dog and one heck of a nice visitor center including a restaurant. I'm leaving in the morning to look at some more conveyor and other equipment, taking the boss (Linda) with me this time
