A more leisurely start to the day!\u00a0 After breakfast we packed up for today’s travels.\u00a0 It took a bit longer as we were more spread out since we were two days at this hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We departed a little after 10 AM and stopped at the nearby Lane Motor Museum for the first cache of the day.\u00a0 Unfortunately it was a Did Not Find.\u00a0 Driving another 7 miles to the Ellington Agricultural Center for a successful find! Gary discovered what appeared to be a dragonfly near the cache location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another 83 miles down US 70 we stopped for another successful find at the Sparta TN park to stretch our legs and use the facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big stop of the day was to photograph a waterfall at the Ozone Falls State Natural Area.\u00a0 It was a walk similar to Rickets Glen down a steep trail over rocks and boulders but only 1\/4 mile!\u00a0 Tricky!\u00a0 Nevertheless, we were successful getting down and up.\u00a0 Thankful for our hiking poles as an extra leg!\u00a0 Not a bad way to spend 1-1\/2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stopped in the Kingston TN city park 5:30 PM Eastern Time to book a hotel for tonight.\u00a0 That’s right we crossed from CDT to EDT and the clocks changed from 4:30 to 5:30 in a matter of minutes!\u00a0 Lost another hour today…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
