In case anyone is wondering, this photo is taken at "Backbone Rock" on Beaverdam Creek in very eastern TN, between Shady Valley TN and Damascus VA. It was originally a railroad tunnel.
Grew up in the next county north. It's in Shady Valley, TN, close to The Friendliest Town on the Appalachian Trail, Damascus VA. You go there, don't ask where the Appa-lay-shun Trail is, Yankee.
