Camping Trip - Day 3

When we woke up in the morning, there was a nice break in the rain.  It had rained off and on during the night but our tent did great and we stayed completely dry.  We were able to pack everything up and eat breakfast without getting wet.

We had decided to drive up to a national park we hadn't been to before on our way home - Cumberland Gap National Historic Park.  Again, going there added some distance to our trip but it wasn't too bad and it was nice to drive some new roads.

Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate.  It poured and poured all day.  There were flash flooding warnings everywhere we were.  We still made it up to the park and even hiked about a mile (most of it in the rain).  And we stopped at the visitor's center and stamped the boys passport books.  But we were still disappointed that we didn't get to do any real hiking.

The short hike we did was on the Tennessee Road Trail to the Wilderness Road Trail.  

We passed a place called the Iron Furnace on the way.

We turned around where the trail crossed Gap Creek.

Gray refused to wear his hood and sported a nice hairdo!

Though the last day wasn't what we'd hoped, we had a great time.  And we finally camped with three kids and they all did great!
