Trip to Tennessee... Day 6






SEE ROCK CITY!!! SEE SEVEN STATES AT LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN!! SEE RUBY FALLS! And all those other things that are iconic signs that cover most of Tennesse. We saw them all and had a very nice day. We started out with more rain the night before we packed up from Gatlinburg, and can I say that I am tired of rain right now. Tennessee is supposedly having a drought, but I think we fixed that problem for them. Turn off the spigot.. we have enough water thank you. Okay, we headed out from eastern TN to head toward Chatanooga for sightseeing at Ruby Falls, Lookout Mountain and Rock City. We had to stop and set up camp at the KOA campground in Cleveland, TN. and then we headed into Chatanooga for sightseeing. First stop was Ruby falls as they had a kennel to keep Gunnar in while we did the cavern. Ruby Falls is not the best cavern system we have seen but the falls at the end are really fabulous to see. I got a good shot of the falls during the light show. After that we headed out to Rock City and Lover's Leap. Rock City is absolutely fabulous. A nice 3/4 mile walk in a beautiful natural setting that has been enhanced by plants and structures. It really is a must see point if you come this way. The swinging bridge is very nice to look out over the mountain and of course you have to see the 7 states from Lovers Leap. It did rain again so we got ponchos and made it stop raining. It was alot of fun and very relaxing. Back at camp we tried to dry out more stuff and then hit the sack. Tomorrow is the river boat ride and the aquarium.
