Love your hat Dawn.

[@rebahicks3619]

We love Sparta. The lake was beautiful

[@SittinNBitchin]

I've lived in Crossville for 54 years. Our little town is rich in history. That big mural that was painted on the side of the building was painted by local students years ago. They entered a contest where they told why they love our town. My daughter was chosen as one of the students to help paint it. The Crab Orchard stone that you saw all over our town has been shipped all over the world...literally allllllll over the world. The triangle building is very unique indeed. Why? It was built that way because the train ran right behind it lolololo It has been used to house several different businesses over the years. I believe it's a private residence now. I love to travel to other places but I always enjoy coming home. You should come visit our town this spring. There's nothing more beautiful than this mountain at Spring time. Welcome to Crossville!

[@yankeeinthesouth]

That's Awesome thank you for sharing 😊

[@moodypet8837]

That store is amazing. For people on low carb those meat selections are wonderful.

[@ThemeParkVisionTPV]

Those waterfalls are absolutely amazing!! So pretty!

[@SmokyMountainGoatRoper]

Rock Island is beautiful! We love going there! Check out the other parks around Center Hill Lake too. Edgar Evins Park has a really neat tower you can go up in and lots of beautiful areas there too. Burgess Falls (south of Cookeville) is amazing! We are staying at The Retreat on the lake. It has a great story behind it involving a young boy named Timothy Hill.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Thanks for the tips!

[@WadeLife]

I take trips there and often cool fact there is nothing behind that ledge to cause the waterfalls its actually forced up through the inner rocks and then cascades back into itself is what I was told force form the current causes it.. Great upload

[@bethbupp5021]

Love the water falls. Keep on doing more back road adventure we see places we’d never see with you and Dawn. Thank you both. Be safe. God Bless

That’s by far the least crowded bucees I’ve saw. The one in Richmond ky and Calhoun Ga. Stays packed!!

[@ashleys_sadness]

31:43 beautiful falls ❤

[@oldsjetfire8975]

Fantastic! I was going to try and be down there this weekend for a night. We are headed to Asheboro NC and looks like it is to far out of the way for our travels. Picking up another Oldsmobile Jetfire to redo.

[@yankeeinthesouth]

Sounds great! thanks

[@familyarthurs5922]

I love Buccee's! I finally got to go to one a couple times in December, my kids thought I was crazy getting so excited, but Buccee's is worth getting excited over. I still have some Buccee's nuggets, maybe I bought too much... Nah, you can never have enough Buccee's nuggets!

Have fun!

[@dhigdon0629]

Of All the Buc-EE’S we have been to. The one in Crossville Tennessee is our Favorite for some reason. Sadly, Everything has gone up so much it’s hard to buy anything, so it does make sense that Buc-ee’s has gone up too. Anymore you have to ask for a bag, your receipt, napkins and condiments. My husband and I Both Love old retro towns like that. Thanks For Sharing
