We have had daily rains and the trails in the campground are too wet for walking. So yesterday we drove into Kingsport to check out their Greenbelt Linear Park. According to the visitors guide book it is a 9 mile paved pathway. After discovering that most of the pathway is proposed, we gave up and started looking for – you guessed it – a restaurant. 12 Bones Smokehouse was close by and a great choice!
Today we took a day trip to the Natural Tunnel State Park in Duffield, Virginia. The natural tunnel is believed to be about one million years old. It is an 850 foot tunnel that can be accessed by the park’s chairlift or walking trail. (Guess which route we took) An active railroad line runs through the tunnel carrying mainly coal. Access through the tunnel is prohibited due to railroad safety laws. We missed seeing a train come through but still enjoyed the self-tour. On the way back to camp we ate at Riverfront Seafood Company which overlooks the Holston River and Bays Mountain. Another great meal!
