Tuesday 12 June 2007 - Ringgold to Nashville TN




Took a side trip to Lookout Mountain which overlooks Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley. Magnificent views, although a bit hazy because it is summer. In winter you can see seven states. Beautiful wooded countryside with lakes, rivers and mountains!

We watched a very good electric map show which described the Battles of Chattanooga which included the Battle of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.

Then on to Nashville where we have booked in to a motel in Downtown - The District. Had a quick change of clothes and then off to explore Broadway which is full of bars with live music. The musicians are all excellent - waiting to be discovered by playing in these bars for tips. Visited a few, listened to some excellent music and then got a motorised tricycle ride back to the motel.

Hey Guys. Man, your trip sounds awesome so far! Am very jealous! Did you get to the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville? Anyway, I'm still loving every minute of station life. Have flown a chopper (with dual controls), shot a very loud gun & even touched a croc. So, I'm doing well. Am thinking I might even come back next year. Take Care & Stay Safe. Can't wait to read the next installment. Cheers Guys. Minda
