Participants on this TCWP/TNPS outing will explore the Devil’s Breakfast Table area, including a short bushwhack to a small prairie area that is kept open by erosion during flood events. We will spend more time on other places in the same general area if the prairie is flooded. This is a spot to see the federally listed Cumberland rosemary.
Some may find the short bushwhack difficult. They may opt to spend that part of our time in other easily accessible areas. Bring water, lunch, and bug spray.
We’ll meet for carpooling in Oak Ridge at the Gold’s Gym/Books-a-Million parking lot (at the end close to S. Illinois Avenue, near Salsarita’s) in time to leave Oak Ridge at 8:45 a.m. Eastern; or participants can meet the group at the Marathon Gas Station (52 Main St., Crab Orchard) at the Crab Orchard exit (329) off I-40 east of Crossville at 9 a.m. Central (10 a.m. Eastern).
