Chattanooga, Tennesse

On the 28 we arrived in Chattanooga Tennesse in the afternoon, we were actually camping on a site just across the Georgia state line. The campsite was very nice and the people as well, there was trails and I was able to take one with the dog, she likes the forest and is very good tracking back, I took an alternate trail and she took me back to the original one.

We woke up on the morning of the 29 with beautiful blue skies but it was cold and windy, nevertheless we went to Rock City atop lookout mountain. It consist in a series of trail trough the rock formations with suspensions bridges and everything and it culminates with lover's leap a viewpoint from which you can see seven states. It is allowed to take the dog on the trails and it was fun to take her along. We went back to camp for lunch, left the dog there and went back to lookout mountain to explore the caverns of Ruby Falls. A nice 45 minutes hike 450 feet underground to get to the falls and another 45 minute hike to get back. The good thing is that they have an elevator to travel from the surface to the first hall of the cavern and to get back to the surface. All the lights in the cavern are solar powered by an array on the roofs of the buildings on the surface.

Next stop will be our first destination near Destin, Florida.
