Day 17 Oct 19 – Day 1 at Barton Spring, Normandy Fire Department Chili


Today we leave Nashville behind. The camp ground was gearing up for the Christmas season. They decorate the grounds, invite the local TV/Radio stations, charge $25 a car load and do it up big.

We headed out to our next stop, a TVA camp ground just out side of Tullahoma Tn. We wanted to tour the Jack Daniels distillery just down the road a bit in Lynchberg and this seemed to be the closest camp ground in the area.

We decided to take the back roads and ended up going through Bell Buckle Tn. during their busiest day of the year. There were signs for parking a mile outside of town (or so it seemed). The small main street was wall to wall people. We think we may have scraped a couple of folks as we were squeezing our way through. They did not seem to mind though.

Then  as we passed through the little village of Normandy we noted a sign for the local Fire Department Chili Dinner, so of course we had to go back once we were set up. Acceptable chile, great price. It looked like they had a great turn out for the fund raiser. We left with an extra Chili to go.
