On another beautiful fall East Tennessee day we drove up to Johnson City to spend time with Shirl's 74 yr old brother Jim, to take him out for the day. From Johnson City we drove north on I-26 towards Kingsport and took the Bays Mountain exit to get to the park. Bays Mountain Park and Planetarium is a 3500 acre nature preserve with a 44 acre lake, planetarium, nature center and animal habitat. Jim being an avid hunter in his younger days, really enjoyed the Wildlife habits which features grey wolves, bobcats, raptors and reptiles. There is a boat ride you can take on the lake which is very serene. You can also fish at certain times of the day. We really enjoyed the planetarium.
At the end of the day we had lunch at Sharon's Burgers in Kingsport which we highly recommend if you love your burgers.
