Redbucks - Huntland, TN

Yesterday, we headed off to Huntland, Tennessee.  I've passed Redbucks hundreds of times but have never stopped.  I was told I "had" to get their "hoop cheese"!  The drive there is beautiful.  It is two lane roads with creeks for most of the way.  You also pass the Paint Rock River in multiple places.  There are places for stopping along the way.  Lots of gorgeous countryside unlike any place else.

Back to Redbucks... We drove all the way there and guess what?  They were closed.  Just my luck! That only means I get another trip out there to sight see again!


And this is what all the hype is about.  It doesn't look like much but story has it, that it is some mighty fine eatin!  

Here are a couple of other pics I snapped along the way.  Nothing grand but still a memory!



Russell Cave

Below are some pics from our Russell Cave trip.  We made this trek in January 2015.  It was a brisk day but the first day where the weather was semi-decent.  We enjoyed a quick 30 minute drive to the cave.  We explored the main office and the artifacts they had on display.  Then we took the hike to the cave's mouth.  It was a nice easy walk.  There is also a longer hiking trail available but we were short on time and supplies.  We opted for the cave only, this time.





It's a little blurry but this is as far as you can get.  

This is beside the cave entrance.  There is a beautiful creek with blue water constantly flowing.  The sound of the creek is incredibly soothing!

Another angle looking into the cave where the creek runs.


This is a very huge sink hole!  Jackson County, AL is full of them!
