Whitewater Rafting, Ocoee TN

We left Nashville at 10:30 am CST and hit a major traffic jam on I-24 around 12:30 that was caused by an overturned truck carrying what looked to be fertilizer. We crawled along at 0-15 mph for one hour and 40 minutes. Once traffic cleared we were in Chattanooga and hit Friday afternoon rush hour with construction. A delay by another 30-40 min. We arrived at Whitewater RV Park at approximately 5:00pm EST, 2 hours after our original ETA of 3:00 m. The delay itself wasn’t the problem but a pending storm was and the heat inside the RV was difficult, temperature upfront were 88 degrees and 92 in the rear, and that was with the generator on. We did get to the RV park and set up before the rain came.
On Saturday we went whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River. It was a fun one, we went through 7-8 rapids, several were category 4 (5 is the highest, 6 is life threatening). I didn’t get any pictures for obvious reasons.
Sunday we did a 3 mile hike with Pepper to Benton Falls located in Cherokee National Forest. The first 1 mile plus was easy on a well groomed sandy trail, the last half mile or less was rocky and down hill. The falls were beautiful with a horizontal rock gorge. On the drive down the mountain we stopped at a few scenic overlooks.もっと詳しく
