Chattanooga Courtyard I-75

... an area full of giant rocks that have been split through time thus creating pathways and caverns like a city. It was quite an impressive natural wonder but the owners have added a lot of their own paths and ideas that we felt detracted from the natural beauty (Giant City which we saw in Illinois is quite similar but much more beautiful because it covers a larger area and was left primarily to natures designs). They also had this underground area ...

We have arrived in Chattanooga and found ourselves a bargain basement priced little wooden cabin to keep us out of the rain and in the warmth, yay! This is just a short entry. This week we will be staying here in Chattanooga checking out the surrounds and making a few day trips to neighbouring states. <br><br>We will keep you updated. Lots of Love, the warm, Bek and Jesse Train<br>

... for our National Park passport books and check out the exhibits. The movie is about to start and we decide to check that out as well. <br><br>I don&#8217;t remember much about my last visit other than sitting outside somewhere reading about some part of the battle and a little about the movie that it was foggy and they were fighting in the woods. The movie starts and I realize that it is definitely a different movie than last ...

... for a touring bike - a lot of ruts and unstable due to gravel. It was a sunny day and the view was spectacular. Dan &amp; Darla had visited the overlook a month earlier and it was an overcast day. This day was clear and the visibility was immense. <br><br>We left the overlook and when we reached the end of the gravel road we turned right and turned ...

Jamie, Zach, and I can now say that we have done what all the barns and bird houses across the southeast has been requesting people to do: See Rock City. Rock City is a Labrinth of rock formations on the highest peak in Tennessee. From one spot we could Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee. Zach enjoyed looking at the rocks that loomed overhead and the massive waterfall.

... THE ICE CREAM WAS REALLY GOOD,TOO!). THEY DID HAVE A BATHROOM ON BOARD. WE WERE ALLOWED TO WALK THE TRAIN AT OUR OWN LEISURE. WE COULD ALSO STAND IN BETWEEN THE CARS. YOU COULD COMPARE IT TO RIDING IN A CONVERTIBLE EXCEPT YOUR HEAD WOULD BE STUCK OUT ON THE SIDES. WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN, SOMETIME, BUT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SPEND THE NIGHT ON A TRAIN. WE REALLY HAD FUN! I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE... EXCEPT GOING ...

... are all we really own. And our spirit. We owe ourselves as many enriching experiences as we can squeeze into a day. This was one of the reasons I wanted to begin travel writing in the first place -- to encourage people to get out there and Live Life. Sometimes I let my goal slip sideways a bit, get off on the wrong path. But, I'm fortified for a while now, at least. I have the rest of this year's trips planned and the next one is in June. Straight north on I-75 to Sault Ste Marie ...

Go with me? We're going to ride out the rest of the winter at the pool hall. That is, the Chattanooga Billiard Club, where the "hall" houses 20 finely crafted Steepleton tables inlaid with a one-inch Italian slate base. And a full kitchen serves up salmon and steaks. And co-ed leagues attract friends and families every week. New leagues are just forming for the series ending in April; call ...

... satire and song and it's quite a kick! The show is The Rhythm Method by Changing Times Tap Company. CoPAC gets performers into the community too. Lessons at different levels are available all weekend from these University scholars who are leading the tap movement in the United States. Call. Saturday it's mega-contrast, over on Broad. The large, lush, jewel-box Tivoli is always a treat. Doll it up with pumpkins, carriages, and ...

Just kidding about that fishing pole, but if I spent a summer at the Craft Center I think I'd indulge and buy myself one. I've never seen so many pretty spots to fish, and I live right beside a lake myself! That was a truly delightful Trip, I think I'll relive it right now by watching my tapes. Ta Ta. Tomorrow is another grand drive.
