| Lover's Leap at Rock City |
We had a shorter driving day today. First we drove to Lookout Mountain, which overlooks Chattanooga, TN. It was a sunny day and a bit cool. We toured Rock City. It is a bit pricey but it has been a featured attraction in Tennessee since the 30s and advertised on many barns throughout the south so you kind of have to do it. It is an interesting walk among boulders and with some narrow passages with names such as “Fat Man’s Squeeze”, over swinging bridges and through numerous tunnels and tight passages. For me the main feature is Lover’s Leap (see photo) where they claim you can see 7 states. To that I have to say, “Oh, really!” I can’t definitely say no, but South Carolina and Kentucky are pretty far away. Likewise even Virginia seems is pretty implausible from what I later read. It does however make a good story and the view is breathtaking. It was clear enough for us to see the Smokey Mountains and the definitely includes North Carolina.
After that we visited with my cousin John and his wife and had dinner in Knoxville with our nieces. The dinner was very good and it was nice to see John again after many years.
