Editors' Note: We published this one out of sequence for those following our travels. Oops!
After leaving Frankfort, KY, we caught up with our friends, Bill and Bitsy, who live near Nashville, Tennessee. We stayed at Cedars of Lebanon State Park, not too far from their home. The park is pretty with a couple of on-site caves. Both caves require permits. I found it interesting to see the rushing water coming from Jackson Cave one day and absolutely no water the next day.

We managed a trip into Nashville for lunch at Arnold's Country Kitchen, a Triple D restaurant. We followed lunch with a brief stop at the GooGoo Cluster, America's first combination candy bar. You can make your own concoction if you want. The noise from the downtown bars and the traffic convinced us that we didn't need to spend anymore time downtown.
On another outing, we visited the Sam Davis Home. Once more, as I did at the Dunbar House in Dayton, OH, I found myself pondering the wallpaper.

Leaving Cedars of Lebanon, we moved over to Salt Lick Creek Campground. It's a COE campground, part of the Cordell Hull Dam area. Though we had full hookups at our campsite, we sorely missed cell reception.

We met up with Bill and Bitsy again a few days later in Granville. Tennessee's self-proclaimed Mayberry. The Sutton General Store, where they have live music every Saturday night, was the starting point for a mostly self-guided tour through the town's historic points of interest, museums and gift shops. We were quite curious about the Granville Whiskey Decanter Museum. A couple, who live in a dry county and have never drunk whiskey, collected over 1800 Jim Beam whiskey decanters. Go figure. You'll have to excuse the glare on the photos. All of the decanters were behind glass.
