About two weeks ago, we had a guys weekend.  I think we were all needing this for various reasons. We chose Fall Creek Falls State Park in middle Tn.  I hadn't been camping in a couple of decades so this venture required several enjoyable trips to many local sporting good stores where I could have easily spent several paychecks.  We took Friday off and got there towards noon.  We had our pick of campsites so we picked one with a large hill and stream behind us. We should have went ahead and took the campsite beside us as we were soon joined by the spawn of Satan himself (see earlier post). We were able to partake of the dinner buffet at the State Park Inn. Very enjoyable. We did some hiking and then built a campfire.  Staring at a campfire while listening to a stream in the distance is my idea of relaxation heaven.  I was able to shut my mind off for most of the weekend.  It did rain that night and I learned that seam sealing a tent should take place before a camping trip. Did get a little wet and very little sleep.  Spent Sat morning attempting to remember any fishing skills I had twenty years ago. Not much luck for any of us. The hiking at the park can be strenuous but very rewarding due to the views of the waterfalls.
