Goose Pond to Nickajack and Chattanooga

We left Goose Pond on Monday the 19th of September to the Nickajack Dam and then to the Nickajack Marina.  The scenery was varied becoming more mountainous as we approached the dam.  The real treats in scenery came in the segment from Nickajack to Chattanooga.  This portion of the river is referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Tennessee River.
The area became more beautiful as we progressed.
Chattanooga is a progressive city with much to offer.  Today we visited the state of the art Tennessee Aquarium and a terrific IMAX theater movie.



The fancy barge is the coca cola barge that is towed to the yearly fest at Chattanooga.
