Chattanooga, TN
Harrison Bay State Park
First a couple of updates. If you’ve been following along you know that we have a map of the US where the RV has gone. We updated it to include Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. Our rule is that we have to agree that a state gets added, the RV needs to spend the night, and we have to do something in the state. We also need to be together. Thus Kenny’s trip back across the country didn’t count for the map. We’ll have to figure out future trips to cover the spaces that we are still missing.
While I was in Waco I ordered a scratch-off poster of the National Parks. Our goal is to get to the ones in the contiguous US. For this we actually also got to add St. John’s in the US Virgin Islands that we snorkeled in on our honeymoon. We also went to Denali when we were in Alaska on a cruise with Pop and the kids in 2009. Scratching off parks is not dependent on the RV.
After Kenny worked today we went to Rock City, another 1930’s tourist attraction. It sits high on Lookout Mountain and is a path through rock formations, gardens, and a cave of nursery rhymes. It was an interesting walk. The views were beautiful.
Not sure I’m really buying in on the 7 states thing. I don’t think you can see 120 miles :).
We drove back down the mountain into the city and went to see the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. The terminal is the largest freestanding brick dome in the world. It has been beautifully restored. There are several restaurants/bars off of the main terminal with other businesses in the “rail yard”. The gardens are currently under renovations. The place was oddly deserted perhaps because it was Halloween?
Comet was very happy to see us when we got home. We made it in time for a cold, cloudless sunset.
