Hey Everybody,

Cave Springs where the water for Jack Daniel's comes from.

where they burn the maple to make their own charcoal

Today's big adventure was to Lynchburg, Tennessee to tour the Jack Daniel's Distellery! Very lovely drive through hills of middle Tennessee.  I thought Lynchburg would be a fairly large size town, but it's population is around 309.  We had an excellent tour guide, although he did have to talk Tennessee football trash!  The picture above is of him standing at the Cave Springs where the pure water comes from that is used in Jack Daniel's whiskey. The water stays 56 degrees all the time. You could feel the cool air as you got near the cave. The big deal about Jack Daniel's is that they make their own barrels and never reuse them, they make their own charcoal out of sweet maple, and those things combined make for the sweet taste of Jack Daniel.

After we left the distillery we rode through a nearby state park, Tims Ford, on a lake, had a Jack Nicklaus golf course, very nice. Think we might come back there one day.  While riding through the park so quite a few deer.

You can't tell but there were about 5 deer.

So here we are settled in at a KOA in Manchester, Tennessee, very nice RV park. I was laughing at the plastic ducks they had sitting next to the pond, until Halle barked and the ducks took off for the pond.  Very pretty park with shade, and space. 
That's about it for today, not sure where tomorrow takes us!

Happy Camping!
