A Precarious Perch

So. Fall River Falls State Park in Tennessee is forty or so miles south of the interstate and then a LONG ways back from the highway on windy roads. We arrived mid-afternoon and finally found our site. It is right off a turn in the campground road, but then the site itself turns. It was not a pretty parking job but the parker and the parking assistant are still married.

Not only does the site curve but it slants to the east. The pad is quite narrow, so when we finished, the bottom step hit me at the knee and there was no place to put our extra step that we carry for these occasions. Butch rigged a support with an extra board but that first step is still a doozy. We will need a step ladder to get our bikes off the back end.

However, it appears to be a beautiful place. There are loads of families here, so obviously there is no school in this area today in honor of the Italian who sailed for Spain looking for China and accidentally ran into the West Indies. We will do a little exploring ourselves in search of the falls that this park is famous for. And perhaps we will have spaghetti tacos with a little soy sauce for supper. Eww.

One amazing site that we have already seen: last night, five or six teenagers from a group near us sat at a picnic table playing cards. We did not see a single cell phone. We don't have any TV stations here but we do have cell and internet service so that wasn't the reason. I wanted to go over and congratulate them.

Can't imagine the amount of blocking you needed. Facebook photos you posted were great. Got back today for a short rest and than on the camping road Friday.
