Big Ridge State Park near Knoxville, TN

Yesterday we checked out Big Ridge.  First we tried bicycling, not much to do there, most of the park was too steep to access.  Then we tried swimming, but the lake access was too steep near our campsite, so we went to their beach area which was full of floating globs of algae.  We were going to get supplies from Walmart, but Donna got some kind of stomach bug so I took Nic after things had settled down.  As I was stopped at a light, I saw an accident happen in slow motion.  A car rolled out of a Shoney's parking lot onto the main road, flipped over, and spilled its contents.  This was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

We arrived back at home around 2:30p today.  I think we were all overjoyed.  Nic ran up the driveway he was excited.
