We are back on the river!

We left Goose Pond marina on Sunday, a day later than we thought.  Our Galena, IL friends on “Marcs Ark” called us and said they were coming to join us for the trip to Chattanooga so we waited for them.



Before we left Goose Pond marina in Scottsboro, AL, we went to a Scottish fest.  I guess the town is full of Scottish clans.  Pretty neat!




We anchored out at a lovely spot shown in the picture above.  Here Ken and Marc are enjoying happy hour on Marc’sArk.




Monday  we headed up river to Chattanooga.  We all said it was the prettiest day of cruising we had done.  Mountains, plateaus, winding river, all colors of green and a hint of fall colors.  Absolutely spectacular!  These are some pictures from our wonderful day. 


We are docked right downtown Chattanooga.  Walk up the steps and you are in the city, right at the Aquarium which we will visit today.  We went to the Visitor center to get maps and find out all the attractions of which there are many.  Right across from our boat is the Delta Queen, which used to come up the Mississippi to Red Wing.  It is now a hotel and efforts are still in the works to get it back cruising again.  The city just revitalized their riverfront within the last 5 years and it is spectacular.  We are looking forward to seeing all the sights here in Chattanooga and will have lots more to share in the days ahead.  Weather is gorgeous.
