This morning we were planning to pull out of Mountain Lakes Resort and head off to our next site in Tennessee, but in doing a little reading this morning, I found one more location I wanted to see before we left. We heard about the Little River Canyon National Reserve earlier but with the weather being so unpredictable we weren’t able to make the trip up to see it, but this morning… We drove up to Fort Payne, had a treat, a cup of coffee, and then found the National Park office to pick up a map of the canyon area. The Little River Canyon is the deepest and longest canyon east of the Mississippi and has a powerful river flowing through it.

Anyway, we parked for the night at Wal-Mart and got a good night’s rest before continuing on to our campsite at Thousand Trails NACO, at Natchez Trace Wilderness Preserve, in Hohenwald, Tennessee. This is a HUGE campground and sits on Chief Creek Lake, although none of the campsites sit anywhere near the lake, there is good access to it for those of us that want to use it. I mentioned that this place was huge, and it is large, but when the ranger at the gate tells you that “your site is about 4 miles down this road…” Well it wasn’t 4 miles, but it is by far more distant than any we have ever been at before. Another thing that has surprised us a little, the closest community, town, city, or gas station is about 15 miles away…
