Nice! familiar territory for me, makes me a little homesick to see pictures of those rolling TN hills. I graduated from MTSU and lived in Nashville and middle TN for ~10 years. The only bike camping I did was down the Natchez Trace. Is there a link to the route map that you did on that site? Didn't see anything. Fall Creek Falls was also on my list of hikes I meant to do and never did!
