Wilson Lock to Wheeler Lock on the Tennessee River

Saturday, October 3

We are taking a side trip off the official Great Loop route to see Chattanooga on the Tennessee River. Most of the trip is in northern Alabama on the Tennessee River, but eventually we will be back in the state of Tennessee and back in the eastern time zone. On the way we have visited Florence, Alabama, and we’ll be near Huntsville tonight.

We saw a very good movie yesterday - The Intern with Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway. A nice movie that probably won’t win any awards but will be on everyone’s list of favorites. They are not a romantic couple - she is the boss and he is the intern. Afterwards we went to the center of town (Florence) to watch men drop three huge pumpkins from a crane into the middle of the intersection. Wow! It is fascinating to see what ideas towns come up with. It certainly drew a crowd at 7:00 p.m. into the blocked-off area to eat, shop at vendors and just mill around on the streets.
