Road Trip 2009 - Day 4 - Mile 1590 - Going to Memphis

Yup, we covered 460 miles today. We started in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, through Gatlinburg, Great Smokey Mountain National Park, on to Chatanooga, dipped into Georgia, across northern Alabama and Mississippi on route 72 and into the outskirts of Memphis this evening.

These first set of pictures are from Great Smokey Mountain National Park.



We may have mentioned it another time, but we like using the Tom-tom. In this case within the national park. Even in the mountains it does a good job keeping us on track.



Since the highest peak in this national park is about 6000 feet, the whole area is green and beautiful. Probably a lazy way to take pictures; poking the camera out the roof of the car.


Beautifully tall trees

Lots of streams at the side of the road

This last picture is from the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

So now we are on the outskirts of Memphis. Tomorrow we plan to spend the day and evening in downtown Memphis. We aren't sure of Saturday's plan. We'll let you know in tomorrow's blog.
