Well if you entered from I 40 you ran into a store about 5 miles in(I know, I walked it when I had to hitch from the interstate where I was dropped off). At the store you can bow to the right and come out at Lexington in about 4 or 5 miles ... to get some of the best Bar-b-q you could wish for. I would get off on Fri, get a barbq then with a tall boy beer I was on my way back to Dyersburg. I was young.😁 .... But it sure was good.
P.S. I MUST have walked a thousand. Miles through those woods. Well, at least it felt like it.
