Any TN anons out there?
Know any good /out/ spots in the great volunteer state?
Personally I am looking for some spots in Eastern TN in the Nooga area, want to go on a day hike, camp overnight and do some plinking. Was thinking of the pocket wilderness in Dayton, but idk their rules on guns and camping overnight.

Anyone else been having fun getting out in the mountains?

Don't spend a lot of time in Chattanooga but Campbell and anderson county have some nice spots. I enjoy the caryville mountains and the jacksboro/lafollette area. Frozen head/Cumberland gap/chuck swan are all nice. Go see some elk at Hatfield knob

can you figure out where rattlesnake point is and get me the coordinates, also bonus for finding a path/parking to buzzard's roost and wilson ridge overlook
>can you camp
I mean there's I think primitive campsites down by the river but it's also a WMA where usually they don't want camping so I dunno. They probably wouldn't find or stop you though. You can definitely have guns there.

^picture of the purported overlook'

Rattlesnake Point is perched on a high bluff far above and between Sheep Cave and Big Laurel Falls.

I believe it is where I circled on the map roughly given the description. There's also wilson ridge to the wsw of that and buzzard's roost on the other side (south) of the gorge upstream to the NE, which seems to be wholly on private property.

also I think it maybe has to be right here because I emailed the land manager and he said the reason it's not *legally* accessible is because to get to it, you have to go through a nature conservancy property that is closed to the public; but the rattlesnake point overlook itself is on public land - he gave me that clue

if you go to google maps or the scott's gulf park map

you can kinda see a little area of cliffy edge in darker green that's on the virgin falls state natural area owned land which is open to the public
fuck i hate bureaucracy

If the illegal entry way is the one he immediately thinks of then thats probably just one that be reached by foot. With these plateaus out here you honestly really might need to do some bouldering.

Get some pics when you go anon!
