There's a nice little place for sure. Really like those cabins...just always nice to see them around for an alternative for people. So, what great inspiration did you come up with at the point! lol I wish more of our camp ground would stay open longer in the season, even when they do turn the water off...those times are some of the best for camping with no bugs at all. Hope you do have yourself a great week ahead.

When I saw the first couple views, I knew you were at Bee Rock. I spent all my teenage years crawling over that rock! Two young men came up from Tenn Tech and were repelling down the face of the rock. I was probably 13 and was watching them when they asked me if I wanted to try it. I said sure and over the edge I went! No belay and it was homemade equipment! God watches over idiots and children! I was a little of both! 100 feet to the bottom, it was great! Thanks for the memories Kerry!

I made the hike to Window Cliffs a few years ago. I hiked a big part of the way in my Crocs because of all the creek crossings. Window Cliffs is an amazing rock feature but I’m not sure the waterfall isn’t just as good. Thanks for taking me back there. We need to get together and hike to some more of the waterfalls in that area just off the Cumberland Plateau. Thanks Kerry. Take care my friend.
