My New Favorite Place In Clarksville

Dunbar Cave

Why do I like it so much?

1. It's 5 minutes away from where I live

2. It has 3 different trails to walk through

3. It's beautiful

4. I just like it ok!

My run today was awesome! There is tons of wildlife in the woods... squirrels, cardinals, rabbits, ducks, waterfowl etc. It was fun to hike through the hilly terrain, attempting to jog up most hills but man were my legs burning.

There are tons of military guys running through the trails with weighted vests on, preparing for fitness tests or training for different units. Everyone here is so nice and friendly. I definitely believe in Minnesota nice, but there is a huge difference between MN nice and Southern nice. Minnesota nice to me is a little passive aggressive and forced at times. Southern nice is... let's have an hour long conversation about dog parks at the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon because we can.

I plan on spending more time at this cave and many other State Parks in TN! Oh! The cave itself has been closed for the past 3 or so years because they found bats with some gross disease... ick.
