We flew into Nashville because I wanted to go to a concert By Legacy Five, Gospel Group, in Chatanooga. We also wanted to have a little taste of Tennessee. We had such a lovely drive, down and back on different routes, from where we stayed in Franklin TN but sadly little time and not enough knowledge to do very much. We did go for a trip on a Paddle Steamer along the great Tennessee River. Very cool and yet somehow disappointing too. I think the Mississippi would be better.<br /><br />Finding all those films must be pretty special.<br /><br />Blessings.MargieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591436464085450834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-9299937061631239712011-04-06T06:10:12.651-07:002011-04-06T06:10:12.651-07:00We've been to Chattanooga, but never made it t...We've been to Chattanooga, but never made it to Ruby Falls. I guess we should have! <br /><br />Your idea on a trial run is a good one. The best thing we did lately was spend the last 3 months in the motor home. It really showed us how much room we have. Planning in your head isn't the same as actually living in the small space of an rv. We now know exactly how much room we have. It helped Al (he's kind of like Craig) realize that no, he couldn't take his boat, and no, he didn't have room for all his "stuff". He's much more eager to unload stuff than he was before our trip.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-56485841935594695772011-04-06T03:43:26.756-07:002011-04-06T03:43:26.756-07:00Before becoming a full-timer, I lived in TN for 36...Before becoming a full-timer, I lived in TN for 36 years and never went to Ruby Falls.

However, we've only been thru Chattanooga once. But your story reminds me of our trip last year to SD & beyond. There were sooo many signs about "Wall Drug."

The one with more signs won. Such a simple way to keep us kids occupied! A fun memory.

The story of the discovery of the falls is very interesting.<br />Chattanooga is a great place to visit (and live).
