We arrived in Tennessee on Oct 7 and will be here until late November. The extended stay was to decide whether this would be the place that we would like to stay permanently. We looked at Knoxville, Chattanooga, and along the valley between them. Along the way we stopped in Dayton. This little town is on Chickamauga Lake, part of the Tennessee River. Woke up one morning to see over 200 boats waiting to hit the water in a fall contest. Big bass live in this lake. From here we hiked at Falls Creek Falls State Park. We also got to hike along the river at Watts Bar Dam and Lock with a nice view of the nuclear power plant here.our next stop was in Trenton Georgia, just south of Chattanooga. From here, we went to the Lodge Cast Iron factory store. Great place if you love CI. We also got to hike at Russel Cave National Monument and at Cloudland Canyon State Park.
