May 5 and 6 Travel to Pigeon Forge
We spent the first night at a Wal-Mart in Attala, AL. There were lots of big rigs that pulled in and out of here. Wal-Mart has signs up that say they could not park here but they must allow them to stop for a nap before going on down the road. None stayed over-night but there was always some there through the evening and the next morning before we left. In the morning we left about 8:30 and soon were we in Tennessee. As we get closer to Chattanooga we are reminded of our stay here in 2004. At that time we did a little site seeing and took an Incline Railway up to the top of Lookout Mountain. There is a beautiful view of the city from there. These pictures were taken from Lookout Mountain in 2004.
A little further up the highway we saw signs for the Ocoee River which brought back memories of our drive through the Ocoee River basin and the Whitewater Center where some of the 1996 Summer Olympics were held. It is a gorgeous area too.
