After checking out of the B&B, we drove over to Ruby Falls. We had never been there either and the tour was actually pretty good. Heavy rain started as we were leaving but we still went to the Craven House, site of a Civil War battle for Chattanooga. It's part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. We saw the inclined railroad but skipped riding.
Rather than drive back through Chattanooga, we headed west out to Cloudland Canyon State Park, the original "Grand Canyon" but got rained out.
As we headed down the mountain we began to see more strom damage. The ranger at the state park told us that the tornados had come through thst missed the area and had just missed the State Park. At the base of the mountains, in a little town we sow the damage up close. Several people had been killed here and the destruction was sickening.
After a pit stop at The Krystle, we headed on to Nashville. We stayed at Judy's parent's condo and had a great dinner of Mimi's barbaqued ribs. Janet and Melinda came over for dinner and we had a fun evening together.
