(Oct. 28-30) We spent a few days in Chattanooga, TN and rode the Incline Railroad up to Lookout Mountain. It is like going up and down a roller coaster – only very slowly which made Ruth Ann happy. It is the world’s steepest passenger railway. Up top you can see the Tennessee River and Moccasin Bend. The homes and views are spectacular especially since we are still enjoying the fall foliage. Next we went to Rock City which is a must if you are ever in the area. It started out in 1920 as a family began to develop a walk-through garden on their private estate. Years later the Carters opened their Rock City Garden to the public. Now you walk thru, around, between and over the rocks and even over a suspension bridge to enjoy the gardens, caverns and spectacular views. At the top of Lovers Leap, you can see seven states: Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. At more than one area you barely squeeze thru the rocks on the path – one is even called Fat Man Squeeze. Another section is call Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village which is unbelievable. It took over six years to finish that project. We only wish we could put all our pictures on the web, but since we can’t we hope some of you can visit Rock City in your travels.
