... are 100ft tall, 12ft in diameter with 30ft long arms, covered with aluminum siding and are visible from 20miles. Other denominations have huge streaming billboards.

· Some kind of vine grows everywhere and is very evasive – it climbs up big trees and eventually kills them; the ditches, fences, guy wires on power poles and surrounding shrubs are completely covered. It looks nice & ...

The Civil War history of the area had to be covered so over a few trips we checked out The Battle For Chickamauga which is a giant diorama combined with audio visual that depicts the battle of the area. It was quite impressive and gave a good orderly account of the battles. Its amazing how they had months of preparation, then the fight would be fought and done in 48hrs. We also visited the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Park ...

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.

We will keep you updated. Lots of Love, the warm, Bek and Jesse Train

... I did see that they had a 1903 Springfield. I’ll have to remember to tell Shaun.

We decide it is a good time to hit the auto tour before the bus load of children head there. We head out and follow the battle. I like trying to guess which monuments are for which state. Each state provided the monuments for their units. Most of the really big ones are for confederate states. There is a HUGE Georgia spiral we see ...

... onto another gravel road to a waterfall. We parked the bikes and hiked 1.8 miles to the waterfall. Again, spectacular views. Uphill hiking in and we encountered a few downed trees. Easy coming out.

The hike took some time so when we got back on 136 North and headed on to Chickamauga we didn't stay too long. We will definitely will go back.

(26) TRIP TAKEN OCTOBER 29, 2005 - SATURDAY I LIVED IN A SMALL TOWN OUTSIDE OF WICHITA, KANSAS WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL. OUR HOUSING ADDITION WAS JUST A HOP, SKIP AND A RUN FROM THE RAILROAD WHERE THE TRAIN WOULD STOP AND GRAIN WOULD BE SHOOTED DOWN INTO A GRAIN CAR. I REMEMBER IN THE SUMMER NIGHTS, MY SISTER AND I WOULD LAY OUT ON A BLANKET AND WE WOULD WATCH THE TRAIN GO BY. PARTICULAR TRAINS WOULD HAVE DINNER CARS. THE CARS WOULD HAVE THE ...

... the schools to explain music boxes, glass blowing, or life in Victorian times. Of course, a guided tour through the museum is an educational adventure too. If the show at the Trade Center whets your appetite for learning more about what you've seen (or bought), spend some time at 201 High Street browsing the permanent collection that began with Anna Safely Houston. One of the most interesting things to ...

Go with me? The redbuds and the kite-eating trees are in full bloom at Tennessee Riverpark this weekend. And the Scenic City Kite Club promises to bring us into spring with a dazzle. It's the annual Kite Fly in the meadow, and you can take your own or make'em there. Workshops begin at 10 a.m., and the kite prices begin at $1. "We want every kid or kid-at-heart to have a ...

Celebrate the scenery. In steep-walled narrow canyons, such as the Tennessee River Gorge, stretching 26 miles between Raccoon Mountain and Walden Ridge. In deep chasms, such as Savage Gulf in the South Cumberland Area. In small valleys in the mountain's side, such as Lost Cove in the Carter Natural Area. In underground chambers that open to the surface, such as Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville. This Trip is made of gorges and ...

... to remember when you are considering "open hours" of places you want to visit. Beginning on the new Corridor J in Chattanooga, travel north, crossing the waters of Soddy Creek and hugging the eastern side of the Ridge and the western side of the Tennessee River on a wonderful 4-lane cruise to Dayton. There the road narrows for the next 17 miles till you arrive at Spring City. Here clear signage directs you onto ...
