Robbie just relaxing on the bear rug by the fireplace. 🐾💕
We stopped at a rest area 50 miles from Chattanooga. It’s a gorgeous drive!
North Carolina I-40W around Cherokee National Forest.
We’ve never driven in a winding tunnel; usually they’re straight through.

Tennessee River
Sleepyhead beard! 😂
Downhill to Chattanooga
Betcha never saw a purple Airstream!
Arriving at the Raccoon Mountain Campground, we discovered caves and caverns adventures on site. Who knew? Our site has a view from the back window of Lookout Mountain. The incline Railway to Rock City Gardens is nearby! The sites are large, and each one has a fire ring and concrete patio. Pretty darn good.

Karen and Pete have stopped at another campground to check it out for a future event. (They arrived about 2:30.) Once they got settled we had happy hour on our patio to make plans for dinner. Since Karen had nothing in her fridge 🤷♀️ (and they didn’t like what I had to offer) we went out.
The Boathouse is in downtown Chattanooga on the Tennessee River. It was crowded, with a 45 minute wait for a table. So, we found ourselves a place at the bar and waited. The food was good, and the place was absolutely packed. That’s usually a good sign if you don’t know the area.
Dinner at the Boathouse.
Hahaha ... Mark and Pete clowning around!
The Tennessee River at sunset, after our bellies were full.
Back at the campground, we sat outside with all three dogs. BZ was a bit fidgety so she had to go back in the house, but otherwise all was well.
Tomorrow, we’re planning to go on the incline Railway to the top of Lookout Mountain.
