Spring Break 2000

Day 2 (continued)

On the way to Chattanooga, we took a little bypass on US 72 to drive into Alabama. We came across this town called Bridgeport, and it was a stereotypical Alabama town. But then we were driving in the country a little, and we saw many nice homes. So all of Alabama isn't a dump.

Around 6:30 we made it to Chattanooga. First we dropped our stuff off at the motel and then we went out for a drive. There were a few tunnels we went in, and we got to the top of a big ridge, and it had a beautiful view of the city.

Day 3

On Sunday morning we went to Signal Mountain, just northwest of Chattanooga. We went to the place where they sent signals from in Civil war. It had a nice view of the Tennesee River valley. Then we drove to the ridge we were at the night before, to look at the view during the day. We headed out on I-75 to Atlanta.
