On a final full day’s drive across Tennessee, I’ve continued to enjoy the scenery very much. Also,
- I sort of regret not stopping in Sparta, Tennessee because it looks like a neat little town. I should have stopped and walked around.
- Spring City has a Hammer Time Fitness, a Blistered Chicken Saloon, and a road called Ideal Valley. Whoever is in charge of naming things in that town is doing a good job.
- And in the town of Maryville, there is a West Coast Tattoo. Which makes me scratch my head.
I made a point of going to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where Cade’s Cove had been recommended to me. Thanks, Sharon! It was a really amazing drive.
c’mon.
