One of our favorite restaurants, Demos, is located in
Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We make it a point in our travels though TN to eat
dinner at this place as they have really good food and a REALLY good price. It
is an Italian & Steak place. On this trip I had a salad, baked potato and a
14 oz sirloin steak for $13. I have had
the steak before and they always cook it to perfection.
Before dinner we
parked Tricera-Pod at Cedars of Lebanon State Park. A very nice park with HUGE
pull through spaces. OLD bathrooms and showers but as most state parks very
clean. The park is an old Civilian
Conservation Corps park. There is a swimming pool, baseball fields and a
conference room. We did not get to look
around much as there was a huge thunder, lighting and rain storm that came
though and we had to hunker down for three hours as the rain soaked everything.
The next morning
after eating breakfast I had another adventure. Our camp site had an elevated
picnic area and after I had finished eating I slipped on the wooded railroad
ties that formed the perimeter of the camp site. I fell flat on my back
and cut my left elbow. The cut was not
so bad, but after a week it is still sore.
Before
the big rain storm and dinner we took a ride over to Stone River National
Battlefield. Across the street from
General Rosecrans headquarters on public land ( not the battlefield) the there is a large tailing
pile of rocks. In these piles of rocks you can find crinoids and brachiopods
fossils. So if you are ever in that area and like to hunt for fossils this is a
good place to find these small but ancient animals.
