  • We explore Chattanooga Tennessee. Fist we visit Point Park, Ruby Falls, and the Incline Railway, on Lookout Mountain. Then we see historic Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel in downtown, the also historic Almond Street pedestrian bridge, spanning the Tennessee River, and Coolidge Park, in the trendy Northside neighborhood.
    We tow a 2015 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1706FB travel trailer, with a 2004 Kia Sorento EX RWD.

    Hi there! I'm from Brazil and loved to get to know about Chattanooga. Thanks so much for your video. By the way, I was brought here by the fact that I like Country Songs a lot and usually listen to them on 1079 Nash Icon from Chattanooga! So I thought about knowing more about this city. Thanks again!

    @forry100 Před 6 lety +1

    Robert, You went North a few days after we left Miami, however we went home via I95 to I77, had to stop at Savnnah on the way home. Can not remember (getting old) if we told you how we always go to the top of Lookout Mtn at night for the city light view. You can or you could get into Point Park for free by hiking the trails from the bottom. Not sure if you know it, but you can go to the lower level and see all the machinery (gears/motors) of the Incline Railway. We also always stop at the small store that you noted for the views of the railway. This spring on our way down to Miami we stopped and the store keeper gave a free candy bar to a young boy for behaving so well when his sisters did not. The parents had to send the girls to the car and they were shocked by the kindness of the store keeper... think the girls might have learned a lesson. Thanks for showing us some new things to check out on our next trip through Chattanooga. So glad that you are blessed to be able to take your mom on a trip like this, as I think we shared with you in person, my mom is in a nursing home and not allowed to go far from it. So many more memories/trips I wanted to share with my mom. Be careful and enjoy your current trip. Your friends, the Forry's.

    Try Luray Caverns in Virginia. Also Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. They are huge. Multiple tours as long as seven miles if you're a hiker. Endless beautiful formations like Ruby Falls Only without the falls). Luray is a must for cavern visitors. All the beautiful formations, and several large rooms. Even a stalactite pipe organ. It's like a movie set.

      @@TravelingRobert yeah it is.. My dad worked there back in the day. I was little. They were doing construction on the building and he literally had to haul off all kinds of antique furniture from the 20's and 30's that had been there forever. They had him take it by the dumptruck loads to this place and they buried it. There were claw foot bath tubs, key turning lamps, tall self standing oval mirrors.. oh if that place could talk. And the building across the street you showed used to be Saint Charles Hotel. It later turned into a place you only saw ladies of the night. They eventually closed down and boarded up the place.. Have you tried googling The Read House here in Chattanooga? Very interesting history there as well.. Speaking of The Choo Choo can't say how I have them but I've got some old pictures from there when it was a functional train station. They were given to me. The rest we're destroyed. I haven't made them public for fear they lose value. If you would like to see them I'd love to share with you.
