Rock City Express — Local services in Rockwood

Right across the bridge into Rockwood from the trail. Have beer cooler. Only thing open in Rockwood on Sundays. There is a shelter with picnic tables where we ate that saved us from the brief rain storm. There... There's the only 4 positives about this place for trail users. Had some food but nothing much. Lady at the counter seemed as if we were inconveniencing her simply by being there. After we ate went back inside for some ice cream and asked to use the hose outside to fill our water (reluctantly) the girls working the counter said they don't think "they" (guessing the owners) don't allow that here and the only water they have is in the cooler for sale.

Rock City Express is a gas station and convenience store, located less than a hundred yards from the trail and trailhead in Rockwood… it was a great spot to get Gatorade and water and milk and snacks for an early morning ride out of Rockwood… it’s the only early morning place to shop! Prices are reasonable and the gentleman behind the counter was friendly. We liked their outside tables under a roof, which is great in inclement weather… I stop there most times that I camp at Husky Haven… I do go to the Mill Shoppes for...
