Day 3 at Norris Lake

A great day on the water, but it’s obvious people are gearing up for the Fourth of July weekend. A lot more activity in the campgrounds and double the boat traffic.

Our neighbors camping next to us invited us over for drinks, bbq and conversation last night. A couple that was our age and several of their family members visiting for the evening. Awesome people! They had a lot of information about this area and North & South Carolina. Small social interactions make a big impact on us at this point!

We’ve been pouring over maps today…like usual 🙄. We haven’t decided how to best go about exploring the lake. All of the roads are very private, hilly and winding. It will definitely take us a while to find which areas are our favorite. Then we need to decide if it’s worth the drive on a daily basis.

After further exploration of Norris, we will take a toolie into downtown Knoxville. Not sure what the plan will be after that. We will probably find the nearest Cracker Barrel, being that it’s Fourth of July weekend and everything is booked up.Read more
