I wonder how these people get here when the weather is poor because even on a dry afternoon, it was a challenging road. 4WD SUVs are recommended! The marker reads, "Founded here July 4, 1857, when its first trustees, representing Episcopal dioceses in ten Southern states, met to adopt the plan of Bishop (later Confederate General) Leonidas Polk for a university to be sponsored by the Episcopal Church. Following the colorful ceremony here, a second meeting of the Board was held in Montgomery, Alabama, in November, 1857, and Sewanee, Tennessee was chosen as the site." There is not much room to stop here but there was no traffic so blocking the road briefly wasn't a problem. [Review 18832 overall - 363 in Tennessee - 2355 of 2022.]

It reads, " The Chattanooga area was firmly controlled by the Chickamauga Indians at the time of The American Revolution. The Cherokee Indian chiefs had signed peace and land treaties with the Colonial settlers. However, a small group of rebellious Cherokees were not in accord with these treaties and continued unabated warfare with the expanding settlers. They were called the Chickamaugas and were led by Chief Dragging Canoe. They were actively supported by the British through local agents and traders. The Government of North Carolina authorized a Military Campaign against them in the summer of 1782, pledging Continental Congressional support. Colonel John Sevier organized a force of some of 250 "Nolichucky Riflemen" to pursue the Chickamaugas and to rescue captives. On September 20, 1782, after several minor encounters, Sevier and his men engaged the Chickamaugas in a battle high in the palisades at the north end of Lookout Mountain. The Frontiersmen's accurate rifle fire soon overcame their foes. This was an official Revolutionary War engagement and is considered by many to be the LAST "OVERMOUNTAIN" BATTLE OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION." "The preliminary signing of the peace treaty ending the Revolution was on November 30, 1782." The marker was installed in 2007 2007 by the John Sevier Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Here at Lula Lake Land Trust in Lookout Mountain, Georgia (20 miles southwest of Chattanooga,…read moreTennessee), this is a fun little journey, a 4-mile out and back or roundtrip hike getting to experience the prized highlight here...120-foot Lula Falls. The area around Lula Falls is private property. The Board of Trustees are sensitive about protecting the ecology of this land and so...visiting capacity is greatly reduced. In order to visit, you must book a reservation online ahead of time at lulalake.org. It's $16 entry per car, regardless of the number of passengers. Visitation dates are totally out of the norm, outside guests can enter the grounds on the first and last weekends of each month. That's 4 days per month and 48 days out of the entire year! Eye opening when you think about that statistic within the bigger picture of making plans to see Lula Falls. The pathway trail to reach Lula Falls is moderately easy. Follow the gravel dirt road for the first 1.5 out of 2 miles. Along the way, on the left hand side of the trail is a terrific overlook of Lula Falls. Although you can enter down to the falls taking Old Falls Trail, those stair steps are pretty steep. It was suggested to me to walk just a little further down to Lula Falls Trail and follow that pathway to Lula Falls. Upon arriving at the heart of it all, Lula Falls is mighty impressive, a magical wonder of a waterfall plunging 120 feet in a straight free-fall. While the sun was shining, I even caught a rainbow at the base of the falls which made the setting here somewhat of a pause in time moment. Backdrops like these don't come around often, I was relishing it all. Feeling thankful and blessed would describe things well. There's no swimming at the falls and I respect that, just enjoying the beauty of the falls was good enough for me. On the return trip back towards the entrance, you can follow the Bluff Trail above the forest tree-line to a panoramic clearing from high atop Lookout Mountain. It's a good chance to view the Chattanooga Valley from an undisturbed vantage point. You can finish out the hike taking the Bluff Trail almost all the way back to the start, or the Middle Trail is just as good too. But if you enjoy hiking in nature, either pathway will get the job done. Overall, getting to venture out to Lula Lake Land Trust and hike to Lula Falls was a joyous occasion for me, someone who loves the great outdoors and takes nothing for granted. Thank you for having me.

A few months ago, I stopped in Madison Wisconsin to visit another state capitol and while I was…read moretouring the grounds of the Capitol, I spotted a statue of a foreigner, Hans Christian Heg https://www.yelp.com/biz/hans-christian-heg-statue-madison?hrid=XXaF9ApjxFiZMTAbLLsyyQ. There are multiple foreigners who came to help the American colonies win the war over the British, but this man was not dressed in colonial garb. Who is he and why is he represented here? Those questions led me to research. I learned that Colonel Heg was a Norwegian-American who commanded a volunteer regiment of Scandinavians from Wisconsin to fight for the Union. He was killed at the Battle of Chickamauga, the highest ranking officer from Wisconsin killed in the Civil War. So now I'm here in Chattanooga and touring the battlefield. I was able to find this monument. It is a shell monument, i.e., a triangular pyramid of eight-inch shells, ten feet tall. It is on Viniard Field where it intersects with LaFayette Road at Auto Tour Stop #5. There are signs pointing the way nearby. [Review 18841 overall - 548 in Georgia - 2364 of 2022.]

And the people I'll never get over how wonderful they were all were to us! We went to Ruby Falls rock city Park point and stopped at several of the small shops on the way up.
