The Early Show hits the road for a five-part series starting April 16. We are teaming up with reporters from CBS affiliates to take you on the backroads of America. WJHL reporter Tim Cable gets the engine going in East Tennessee. Backbone Rock Cable shows you a birdseye view of the Cherokee National Forest from the Backbone Rock trail near Shady Valley. Comprised of 631,715 acres, The Cherokee National Forest is located in northeastern Tennessee and western North Carolina.
Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities like fishing and kayaking.
Camping and hiking are the most popular. For more information visit The Cherokee National Forest Web site. Though this restaurant is not big on advertisement, you will not want to miss the Harmony Grocery's cajun cuisine. For questions or comments you may e-mail Tim Cable .
