Frozen Head State Park Tennessee, Great recreation area with small, tight camping without Hookups

[@LoveMtDulcimerMusic]

Great campsites and beautiful water falls complete with gorgeous flowers - doesn’t get any better! Akela is so lucky. He has been to more waterfalls in your travels than most of us humans.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

He just likes cold water ! And the only thing better might be in the next trip.. Baby Animals!!

[@DrJohn493]

Gotta say again, after the potato guy betrayed his ALiner, your videos are always an enjoyable way to explore places in the southeastern Appalachians I want to visit with my ALiner before my off road trippin' comes to an end. Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Glad you like them! And we will stay with the Aliner even if I do get something bigger for longer trips, the Aliner is a keeper!

[@dorispursell48]

Beautiful flowers.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Yes they are, and lots of them too. Its like I imagine heaven... or wait... I like it here !!

[@bryanseverino6967]

Perfect for tent camping and small trailers. And scenic. Thanks...........

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Good to see you Bryan. It was nice. Busy for this weekend, but still nice!

[@sharonl8357]

Two of my favorite things! Waterfalls and spring flowers!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Absolutely Sharon! It just makes you smile !!

[@johnclark6571]

We like Frozen Head Park. Good hike. Too small for our 34 footer but great day hikes. Last time we were there, met some Bigfoot hunters. Good reason to be out in the woods. I'm all for it!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

We might have seen some big foots over on the side after a long hike we took. Though I was seeing fairies and unicorn too !! We had a great time! We might get back in the next year !

[@tomhamp2915]

Nicely done, Rick!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thank you kindly!

[@canyonero2050]

always exciting to see the new green plant growth coming thru the winter forest floor

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Now have to start looking for baby Animals!!

[@derelict_wanderer]

We stayed at #14 last year and hiked the panther creek trail. Trilliums were in bloom. First night some noobs were staying in 13 and didn't know park campground etiquette. Thankfully, they only stayed one night. The next night, the campground filled up, but the worst it got after dark was muffled conversations and crackling fires. Wonderful. Hope you visited Brushy mtn State pen if it was open. Definitely neat history and the Warden's Table is a pretty nice restaurant.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Trying to Make that Next Weeks Video, but its giving me some troubles. But Yes We went to Brushy Mtn.

[@susanpremo8068]

I found it! Toadshade trillium. I've never seen them in person! Their really beautiful!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

The US Forest service has a great Flower/Plant website that list it as Yellow Trillium. Shows the Range and time periods and is very informative!. They call the Yellow ones Wake Robins

Hey Rick & Tree Carrier Akela! Love Springtime except for Pollen Keep on Doing what you Love Buddy

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks Roger. We will continue until covered with dirt and grass. 😀

[@wingzofsteel]

Good to see you.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

You too! Keep the wheels rolling !!

[@eutimiochavez415]

Great video ,nice park .

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thank you, And Glad you enjoyed it !

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

It's so interesting the parks you find to visit. So many I've never heard of. I once camped in N GA at the Moccasin Creek SP - met a woman who was traveling with a friend taking her 9 year old son to every SP in GA - at least that was her goal. I thought it very interesting. I really liked that park mainly because just across the road from the park (same park system) is a great path that follows a fast moving deep stream with a few small water falls and beautiful flora and fauna. It's very nice to take a dog and wasn't busy at all....in fact my sister and I were the only one's there on the path. It was in late May. Anyways, seems like you're finding plenty of places on your own. I really enjoy the new places you visit - especially the more remote NPS or NPF area's. Thanks for doing these great reviews.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I find these place when viewers like you tell me a story like that. We will put that one on our list of places to try. I unfortunately do not have the brain cells to remember who mentioned Frozen head, but after looking it up it sounded very interesting, and this is one of three, so keep following to see how interesting!!

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Cool! There's that same stream that borders the CG and a bridge over to the fish hatchery. Pretty interesting. Just beautiful area too.

[@mrbilllollar]

Well, we’ve had nearly a week of 80 degree temperatures, but thankfully it has cooled back down a little. Nice find on the campground!⛺️

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks 👍

..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks, will do!

@@GoingNoWhereFast Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….

[@milesbliss3256]

Nice video. Rick you are not the life guard you are the stick throwing machine 😆 must be a old park with the small sites. Reminds me of my favorite nys park Lake Harris in Newcomb NY. .

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

YEs, I've been to lake harris and always decided not to camp there with the free secluded camping around the corner at the chain of lakes. or down at Moose River Plains

[@noneck8377]

Thanks for the video. We are in Illinois and pull an Aliner. My brothers live in Greenville TN. This state park looks like a nice place to overnight on the way to Greenville. Enjoy your pancakes!

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Thanks, I don't believe the Pancakes are helping my diet plan much. It is a little out of the way, but the area is wonderful if you can stay a few days. Lots to see and do if you like to hike/fish/explore. 2 more videos coming about what we did!

[@nancyseiler2844]

Nice flower photos. I suppose it’s spring? Maybe not so many the rest of the year.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

All of these are mostly spring wildflowers and they will disappear in a few weeks. Not sure what will come after them, but this area is famous for its flowers. Maybe I'll have to go back in summer to see!! Thanks for the idea!!

[@jamescopeland5358]

Looks cool

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

ITs a bit "Military", but well run.

[@alanosborne1947]

That's quite an obscure park not familiar with it. If you're ever back in that area check out Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. I've been there but not camped but it seemed to be a very nice area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hamilton Branch State Park in Plum Branch,SC. Every site except for four was on the water and some had easy access to the water. Not far from there was Petersburg and Mistletoe SP just across the Strom Thurmond Dam into Georgia. Beautiful area if you're looking for new area to camp.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

I'll be staying on Hartwell Lake in May, not sure what the name of the camp ground is, but I think that is in that general area. My problem with lakeside camping is that I would have a wet fur ball in bed with me and its not fun!! The Big South Fork is on my list. That's another few hours from where I was. But it will be visited! Thanks for the recommendations. I will add them to the list!

[@blackcreekmusic783]

Looks like a really great place! Someday I'll make it south and maybe get to enjoy places like this.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

You will, just give it a little planning!

[@solonutiket564]

I always got a little nervous going there with the prison next to the park. Use to kayak with the park ranger there.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Now don't give anything away, that's Next weeks Video !! But it looks pretty secure.

[@susanpremo8068]

Do you know what the name of the yellow wildflower is? I know I've seen it in a book, but now I can't find it in my wildflower guide, it looks sort of like some sort off trillium, but arggh! No luck. Curiosity will kill this cat! You should find a nice size stick for yourself for hiking, we have several, I've lost several as well, I leave them against a tree in the woods, then forget to grab it. Lots of sticks and their free! Beautiful spot for a spring time hike.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Its a Toad shade I believe. Or I think its just called a yellow Trillium. Though It isn't in my flower book either.

[@eugenebreindel]

Hey! He rinsed the stick off for ya! Why didn't you throw it? LoL

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Hey, he is a particular dog. He wants his sticks just right, length, width, and cleanliness !! lol

[@Tom-In-Ga]

On Slim's latest video I commented that I would still like to see you two get together for a bull session around a camp fire. You both travel solo but have different styles and outlooks. It would have been interesting imo. Maybe sometime in the future. Anyway, nice video and campground. You always get into some pretty interesting places.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

That would be cool. Slim and I have discussed, but we are both fairly heavily scheduled for the current year. He's doing his travel videos and wants to get back to his cabin, and I have to cement my programs here at my current employer. But it could happen.

[@susanpremo8068]

Hey Rick, we have an aliner as well, I was wondering to use our fridge, we just hook up our propane, and turn on the fridge, is that right? Hope you don't mind me asking. We haven't used it yet, I mean the fridge! I've read that we should hook it up to shore power and fill it up with icy packs, so it would help cool it down faster, is there another gems of knowledge you could tell me? It's a 2011. Appreciate any tidbits. Thanks 😊.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

If it is the "Larger" 3.0cu.ft. 3 way frig. with the automatic feature, it will cool down on propane in about 8 hours (70->34) or in 12 hours on shore power (120). 12volt will lower it eventually, but probably not before the battery is dead. I always plug mine into the house the night before and it is cold by morning to fill and go. I never stuff it with anything but the food that I will carry, as removing all that extra "Cooling crap will warm it back up. Anything after 2005 is "auto-Ignition" and self lights. In fact if you cool it with house power, when you unplug it, listen for the click click click as it changes to propane (Of course propane must be turned on.) Old people tell you never run on propane while moving, because in the old days you had to manually light the pilot and it could blow out. Not an issue with the newer models. Oh, and it will run for about 2 months on a 20lb propane tank.

[@susanpremo8068]

@@GoingNoWhereFast thanks. I'm not sure what the cubic feet are, but I think I understand.

[@susanpremo8068]

120 what does that mean exactly, is that household current?

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

yes, regular household electric.

[@susanpremo8068]

@@GoingNoWhereFast sorry, 1 more question, where is the plug on the aliner?

[@lynnbauldree4368]

Please be careful walking on those wet rocks. If you fell and hurt yourself, not sure if Akela could do the Lassie thing.

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

Do the Lassie thing!! More than likely he would do the Shere Khan thing and eat me waiting for his rescue!! Of course, if I was well enough to hold onto a Stick he might drag me through the woods for a while !
