No armed visitors overnight. The drive today would have been more pleasant had the sun shown his face. Even so the Redbuds sparkled along the Trace with the bronze and yellow green of budding trees serving to provide background colour. The overlook at Water Valley was spoiled by the girder towers and wires of a hydro transmission line. Somehow I missed the cut-off for viewing the famous double arched bridge.
Driving into Nashville after the unobstructed drive along the trace was nerve-wracking. Drivers seemed to be rather polite in allowing others to make left turns between intersections but the pedestrians in downtown were downright rude.
Finding my way to the KOA Site in what I assume is East Nashville involved what seemed to be an endless drive along parkways and expressways. My GPS began the day by asking me to make a turn that led to a dead end, I thought I knew better but drove up to the cul de sac on miss-placed faith. Today it took me on a merry chase through Nashville.
Like so much of Tennessee and even the Grand Ole Opry this Campground suffered from flooding. Much of it looks newly rebuilt including the Main Building. The young staff were polite and smiling. I even got a guided tour to my campsite. The grounds are littered with spiny tree cones. The washroom looks new and modern. Already at 6 PM it’s starting to cool off.
