Blue Moon spent the last three days traveling down the Tennessee River from Chattanooga back to Grand Harbour. The leaves changed quite a bit in the last week since our trip up the river. By the weekend they should be near peak. The river is a delight. The slower pace and laid back lifestyle is really appealing. Adorable river homes but unfortunately it is a bit too far north for us to consider as a snow bird place. Too BAD.
On the way back we passed a bat cave. It's actually a bat sanctuary and at times there are around 60,000 gray bats using it as a maternity cave. The Tennessee Valley has the most significant gray bat population in the USA. This is one of 12 bat caves in the area. That little bat in the boat back in Georgian Bay was enough bat for me for a lifetime.
Here are some pix of things we saw along the way:
Floating docks.
Back at Grand Harbour it was pretty quiet. Seems a bunch of loopers left Sunday so there was no one for us to talk to. We borrowed the courtesy van and went to WalMart. We were looking pretty river worn and Dave said he hoped no one took pictures of US for the Walmartion web page! ha!
We had dinner on the back deck which was nice because it had been so cold in Chattanooga we had to be inside the whole time.
Today we got some happy family news. Crissy and Clint got engaged over the weekend! We are so happy for them and looking forward to a wedding celebration out west sometime soon. Clint had asked Dave's permission while home for Bobby and Kristin's wedding so we kinda knew it was coming. Nice job Clint!
