I had a lot of life interfering with my camping this year. some things finally sorted out so I took a couple days to get away.
My get away was delayed by my heat pump needing repairs. That done, I decided to stay a little close to home and see how my new dogs traveled and camped.
I took a scenic route and stopped at the Dunlap Coke ovens
I had decided to camp at the Foster Falls Campground at South Cumberland State Park. I had not been there before and it was interesting, you are rrequired to have a reservation before setting up. the weather was turning cold and wet so there was only 2 campsites taken and I used my Iphone to make my reservation while standing at the campsite.
this is Foster Falls from the overlook
the temp dropped into the mid 30's and it drizzled to downpoured, the Camper is SO much nicer in that weather than a tent. Gabby, Sox and me curled up took a nap and read all afternoon in comfort.
I closed camp after another rainy night and morning, and drove over to the Stone Door Trailhead in Beersheba Springs.
Gabby and Sox traveled and camped well, they need some more time on a leash to reduce their pulling me down the trails. I need to plan a little better, I forgot a few things and found a couple that didn't work very well.
I will need to add a second battery to the camper and investigate better ways to recharge in non sunny weather.
A bad day camping is still a good day.
