Sunday was such a beautiful day. We decided to go to the Narrows of the Harpeth River and hike around. The park suffered some major damage from the May flood and many parts of it were still closed. We hiked down to look at the tunnel and let the kids play around in the water. The log is some residue left from the flood. I wish someone would move it, kinda takes away from it's natural beauty.
The Narrows of the Harpeth, where the Harpeth River comes within 100 feet of where the river returns, seven miles downstream. In 1818, Montgomery Bell bought the land and with the help of slaves dug this tunnel. He created enough moving water to power a forge. It was used to turn larger pieces of pig iron into smaller pieces. These were sold to small manufacturers (many were blacksmiths).

Then, we went to a local park and let the kids burn some more energy. They had such a good time!
