 Our stay here has been nice, the weather has been on the cool side for me and we have gotten some rain.  The last couple of days the wind has been bad also.

     The park did have their Thanksgiving potluck, and we really enjoyed that.  They deep fried the turkeys plus had ham, I thought the ham was the best.  Tables were loaded with side dishes and deserts.  We sat with a couple that are parked a couple of sites down from us and had a good visit with them.  Also met Tammie, that had responded to a comment Len had posted on Thousand Trails the good and bad, who has an annual site here in the park.

     On the suggestion of our friend Dale we drove to Lynchburg, TN, what a beautiful area.  Len enjoyed the tasting tour at the Jack Daniel Distillery. There is a lot of information and displays in the visitor center.  While it is a dry county the distillery has gotten the approval to sell their product.     We didn't find it any cheaper so didn't feel we needed to buy a bottle just to say we had bought it there.  They will etch bottles you purchase for an additional $10.00 charge, but when you live in a motorhome we watch what extras we purchase as space is limited.

      After the tour we went into the town center to visit the gift store.   With the ticket from the tour you could get a free Jack Daniels shot glass (with a $20 purchase). Spending $20 wasn't a problem, as a couple of souvenirs were needed.
After shopping we had a great lunch at the Barrel House BBQ.  Just a little hole in the wall place with some great food at a good price.  I had a pulled pork sandwich,  Len had grilled cheese on crack sandwich (pork and jack cheese on Texas toast).

     We did make it back to the driving the Natchez Trail Parkway.  So much history.  Some beautiful water falls and the "Trail of Tears" cross the area also.  Even was able to drive a couple of miles on the old parkway, glad we didn't have to do that in a covered wagon or on foot.

     Tuesday we hit the road so will have more adventures to write about later. I added a link at the top of the page so you can see all the pictures we took here.
