The night walk last night was good, if a little wet. Fortunately for us, this meant that there was a small crowd of 14, rather than the usual 100, taking the 2 hour stroll around the woods near our campsite. The walk was fun, although we didn’t see any animals other than a toad and a bat. We did hear stories from the ranger and the other walkers about the number of bears spotted that day, however, so this morning we set off on a 6 mile hike around the nearest mountain in the hope of spotting some black bears (one ranger told of seeing 15 bears on this loop yesterday). Sadly, we didn't see any bears, though we did see 2 elk, a wild turkey and an owl.
Continuing on our road trip, we chose to take what looked to be the most direct route from our campsite towards the interstate to Nashville. This actually turned out to be 12 miles of unpaved gravel track over a mountain, which was a little hairy at times, but Snowy coped well.
We’re camped today about an hour away from Nashville at the Cedars of Lebanon state park. Thankfully there are showers.
