2021 - Clifty Falls State Park - Memphis, TN & Points In Between

 

 

We left Saturday afternoon and our first stop was our son's home in Sellersburg, IN.  We camped in the driveway.  Great chance to visit with our granddaughters and watch them play soccer on Sunday.  Our son and daughter-in-law took us to dinner at their clubhouse.

Sunday afternoon we watched the girls play soccer and then we headed to Clifty Falls State Park near Madison, IN, on the Ohio River

Tunnel Falls

This tunnel was originally dug for the railroad, but was never finished.  We have walked, or crouched down and gone through it.  It was too muddy to enter this trip.  The tunnel is also closed for a number of months due to Bat Migration

Historic Madison, IN  This town, along the banks of the Ohio River is a wonderful place to stroll through town and the shops.  The architecture is amazing.

Minton-Madison Bridge across the Ohio River to Kentucky

Clifty Falls

We left Clifty Falls State Park, crossing over the Minton-Madison Bridge into Kentucky, on our way to Hohenwald, TN  We took state roads through small town to the south side of Louisville where we picked up I-65 through Nashville, TN.

Downtyown Nashville, TN   Batman Tower (AT&T Tower) and Nissen Field, home of the Tennessee Titans

We crossed under the Natchez Trace Parkway, a drive we did in its entirety back in 2020.  We turned around and hoped on for a short drive, so we could say we drove on it again.

We were headed to Hampshire, TN to Amber Falls Winery for a night, camping there as part of Harvest Host.

The next morning we headed to Hohenwald, TN and a tour of the Oliver Travel Trailer facility.  The tour lasted a couple hours, and we were both very impressed.

From Hohenwald we headed toward Memphis, where we spent two days camped in Susan's brothers driveway.  The weather was perfect and we spent most of the time visiting on the patio.  Sarah and Molly have become fast friends after all of our Memphis visits.

This was a fun trip and we had great weather and visits with our son, daughter-in-law, granddaughters, and Susan's brother.  

This has been a busy camping season.  To date we have camped for 98 nights.  We are debating whether to plug in a couple more nights to reach 100.  Right now we are content with what 2021 has brought us.

Thanks for following along.

2014 Four Wheel Camper Grandby & 2018 Trekmate Off-Road Trailer

 

                                        

2014 Four Wheel Camper – Grandby

2018 Trekmate Off-Road

Available Now

***CAMPER SOLD***

 

***TRAILER STILL AVAILABLE***

PRICE REDUCED

 

Fully loaded camper. Covered during the winter.  The plywood tub has been painted 3 times since purchase as part of preventative maintenance program.  There are a few small dings from off road use, otherwise the camper is in excellent condition.  Camper is washed with 303 Cleaner, waxed, and the soft side gets 303 Protectant in the Spring and Fall. Why are we selling?  We are getting up there in age.  My wife struggles to get up into the bed, partly to age and a severe ankle injury. Even with the speaker stand she has never been able to raise the roof.  We both want more luxury items and space, with the option to still go off grid. We are looking and it will be with a manufacturer that provides a quality build like Four Wheel Camper.
