Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Cloudland comes up short in Homecoming thriller against Jellico (reflector.com) — Fans in Roan Mountain saw Cloudland's homecoming thriller against Jellico come down to a final drive that stalled inside the 5-yard line, ending in a 26–22 loss. Strong rushing nights from Grayson Cole and Gavyn Shell kept the Highlanders in a back-and-forth battle, which also included a lengthy delay after a Jellico player was injured and taken to a hospital.
• Fall colors begin at Roan Mountain State Park, peak expected in late October (wjhl.com) — Roan Mountain residents can expect fall colors at the state park to peak around October 21–23, with vibrant foliage and larger crowds building over the next few weeks. Park staff are preparing for the busy season and highlight special colorblind-friendly viewing stations at Chestnut Ridge Overlook, making the leaf show more accessible for visitors with limited color vision.
• Pitch a Tent at These 8 Tennessee Campgrounds and You'll Swear You Have the Woods to Yourself (newsbreak.com) — Campers in Roan Mountain get a shout-out in this guide, which highlights the Roan Mountain State Park campground's riverside setting, clean facilities, strict 5 mph speed limit, and even wifi reaching the tent loop. It also compares seven other quiet Tennessee campgrounds, giving locals ideas for both close-to-home and farther-flung weekend getaways across the state.
