I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE AND IT WAS AMAZING.


it is true that i am totally terrified of heights and i eventually had to make shep. switch seats with me so i could feel safer in the backseat, but oh my god so gorgeous. even in my burning fear and all.

COME VISIT US, WE WILL GO GOOF OFF UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Seriously, you have no idea how close I am to driving down there right now. SEE YOU IN 13 HOURS.

I rode through Tennessee a couple of times as a preteen, listening to, like, Simon and Garfunkel on my walkman. The Smoky Mountains and Wednesday Morning, 3 AM - who wouldn't put them together?

i had only ever been to the other end of tennessee, to memphis a couple of times, and the eastern part of the state is really beautiful in its own way. the mountains! i don't know why we don't get up to the mountains more often; my default state of travel is always east to the beach. but now i'm going to make more of an effort to see mountains.


also, ahahahaha, your comment about civil war battlefields. DID YOU GO TO LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN IN CHATTANOOGA?

on Lookout Mountain. (And now I want to find a children's book that I remember, where some kids managed to attract tourists to their town with lots of signs for roadside attractions with fine print, like SEE THE WORLD'S twenty-second LARGEST BALL OF TWINE.)

we went up to point park and craven's house, because [livejournal.com profile] quicknow has a national parks membership and they were free as opposed to rock city, but i loled at all the rock city and ruby falls signs. someday when i am rich i shall go back to the 'noog and SEE ROCK CITY without worry about cost. :D


i like that we are having this conversation in two places. perhaps we should consolidate.
