From Bryson City we drove over to Cornersville, TN to the Texas T Campground. It sits between the towns of Louisburg and Lynneville so was perfect for us. The owners of the campground were super hosts.
We drove to the Lynneville Train Depot on Sunday afternoon. The town built a new depot to use as a museum in hopes of attracting tourism to their little town. The depot museum was self guided, and contained railroad artifacts, a ticket counter, and a telegraph station. Outside we could climb on the engine and go through the coach. I believe the museum opened in 1997, and I'm afraid it hasn't done anything to increase tourism in Lynneville. The only stores I saw were a sheriff's office, the Soda Pop Junction that serves "the best hamburgers in TN!" And great ice cream, and a leather shop. According to the owners of the campground the store makes boots, belts, guitar straps etc. and has quite a clientele from Nashville, 60 miles to the north. Later that afternoon we were treated to some heavy rain.
ON Monday we drove to Lexington, TN to the Beech Lake Family Campground. We had an awesome camp site right on the lake shore. The next morning we checked our GPS for a McD's for breakfast and the first site it took us to was a $400,000 home in a very exclusive housing area. OOOPS, I don't think they serve breakfast! We finally got to the McD's and then after breakfast headed to Jackson, TN to see Casey Jones. More on that in my next post.
