Winter Excursion 2, Day 157

It rained hard last night and early this morning. We were glad we put the awning in as the wind really got to howling. We had no damage, but some of our neighbors had some minor damage and lots of things left out got blown around.
We left camp around 1000 to visit Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park near Elizabethton, TN. One the way we stopped to get some subs for lunch and saw this joint. Had to have the pic just for Liz!

The park is the site of some fierce Cherokee Indian fighting during the Revolutionary War. The Cherokee were armed by the British.  It is also the mustering site of the "Overmountain Men", famous for the battle at Kings Mountain.

There is a replica fort and we could not imagine 150 people holed up here for weeks at a time. Talk about some crowded camping.

My favorite building in the fort!

The river the park is on is really pretty. The park brochure says it is good fly fishing and there are three types of trout. We might have to visit again next year. 

Back at camp we chopped/split some firewood. The temps are dropping and it is supposed to freeze tonight. The fire felt good.

And here's Kaylee in her normal cold weather position.

Tomorrow we are off to Cumberland Gap National Park in Virginia, so early to bed tonight.
