Lebanon

Good friends of ours were traveling through on Hwy. 40, so we arranged to meet them in Lebanon, east of Nashville, northeast of us. Since we were not meeting them until late afternoon, we decided to go earlier and do some exploring. I found Cedars of Lebanon State Park in the area. While driving through, we came across a five-mile Hidden Springs Trail. We had a picnic lunch first, then took the challenge. There were several cave openings along the trail.
Paul was tempted to go under this cave but decided it would hurt if it fell on him! It was beautiful, with the changing colors, multiple types of trees and just being out in nature. We are enjoying this state soooo much!!

As a side note, in our research of TN state parks, it seems like most of them that have camping have room for the 40 foot RV's as well as cabins to rent, lodges, and olympic-sized swimming pools! Secondly, the beauty of the parks here in TN. They are pretty much resorts! While out on the Trace, we stopped by David Crockett State Park and it was the same. And not crowded (although school is back in session, so it may make a difference in the summer.) The RV is now repaired and moved to a storage area closer to home.
