Update: Ringling Bros Circus is no longer an opportunity for us to enjoy. This is our experience from 2012.

Known as the “Niagara of the South,” this 125 ft wide wall of water drops into a boulder-strewn gorge. With a full moon and clear night sky you can…
Today we spent the day being a tourist in Knoxville, TN with our friends Kayelynn and Lianna. We had hoped to spend 24 hours camping out in a Chick Fil A parking lot as part of the First 100 for the newest restaurant opening but didn’t get chosen. So we chose to find a backup…
