As I have always held it a crime to anticipate evils, I will believe it a good comfortable road until I am compelled to believe differently.
-- Meriwether Lewis (upon viewing the Rocky Mountains for the first time (May 26, 1805))
Pics from our time at the Natchez Trace Parkway (Meriwether Lewis Campground) in TN a couple days ago. Beautiful area with the fall leaves and the stay was free (dry camping) but the bees were EVERYWHERE. Not a fan so we cut our visit short after only a couple of nights.

From his journal, as he wrote it:
“The quamash is now in blume and from the colour of its bloom and at a short distance it resembles lakes of fine clear water, so complete is this deseption that on first sight I could have swoarn it was water.”
– Meriwether Lewis, June 12, 1806 (Lewis & Clark Expedition).
