See Rock City (II)

On the way home from our little jaunt we stopped at the world famous, Rock City!

Now interestingly enough, I was born two hours north of here-and in my youth my family never took me here-not once.

So now, some 40+ years later, I finally stopped to see what the barn signs are all about.

The first thing that shocked me more than a little was the admittance fee-$17.95-a little steep if you ask me for walking on a rock trail.

But hey-it’s only money right? So in we went:

Surprise, surprise-the trail starts and ends at the gift shop. But then it got better:

As luck would have it-they were having an Octoberfest ( which they called Rocktoberfest) right across from this. I had an hour an a half drive to make so, sigh, no beer for me!

But we did have a Bratwurst then continued following the trail across the swinging bridge.

Till you came to the point where you could see seven states:

Personally-I think that is a bit of stretch-the idea that you can see Virginia and Kentucky is a little bit hard. Georgia, NC, Tennessee, and S.C, I might buy.

After a good while gazing around we started the trek back.

So do what the sign says and go here to see all the pictures!

  1. I know that you tell us personal things about yourself but, I for one, would really like to know the SO’s opinions about the US.
    Is that something you could share?
