We wouldn\u2019t have left that early but the guy beside us was getting ready to leave, so what the heck, we fired up too and pulled out.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s journey was 206 miles. Tonight, we\u2019re in Cookeville TN. We\u2019re going to visit my Aunt June and some of her family tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Today, after we got here, we\u2019re at Old Mill Campground, just across the road from Cummins Falls State Park, we took a hike down to the falls. I think we walked about 3 1\/2 miles, most of it very easy. While it was a nice path the walk up the side of the hill did manage to get the ole heart and breathing up:)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also billed as one of the best swimming holes in North America.<\/p>\n<p>From along the river we could not walk up far enough to see the falls without wading through some knee deep water. Since the falls are located in the FROZEN NORTH we decided not to go any further. From the pictures I have seen, it looks like it would be a nice place to go in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good thing the CG has WiFi because ATT is pretty much non existent here. It might be time to look into to a Cellphone booster, even if it\u2019s just a small one&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; It\u2019s only money right??<\/p>\n<p>3\/14\/2018<\/p>\n<p>We had a GREAT visit, and supper, with my Aunt June and some of her family. It was good to visit, I wish we could have stayed longer but they had some rain in the forecast and the extend forecast. We considered sitting tight and visiting some more except we had right at zero cell service and our hot spot would not work, and only a couple of PBS TV stations to watch. The prospect of possibly multiple days of rain, stuck inside the RV, didn\u2019t sound so appealing. We do plan to return when we can stay longer&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. Perhaps sometime when it\u2019s NOT SNOWING!!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cummins_Falls_State_Park<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with the frost covered Jeep we rolled out of Parkers Crossing CG about 7:30 this morning.
