Boy has it been COLD down here! We'd be feeling REALLY sorry for ourselves if I hadn't gotten an email from my mom telling me it snowed 12 inches up in G.R. - so I guess we're not doing that bad down here! We've been trying to entertain ourselves as well as possible in the park, in spite of the colder weather. Today is slightly warmer and, according to the weather report, it's going to be progressively warmer each day now. So that's good. I've still been going for a nice hike each day, and I came across this beautiful little "cave" with a little waterfall trickling over the lip - very pretty. Dave's been dropping a line in each day, but so far has gotten "skunked". Yesterday (Sat) was a nice day for us - we drove back north into Chattanooga - about 50 miles. We went downtown and stopped at a restaurant/bar that we like a lot - the Big River Brewery. We had a couple drinks and played 4 games of pool - Dave won all of them, of course, but I had a couple nice shots. Then we drove over to the McKenzie Arena, where the University of Tennessee of Chattanooga basketball games are played. We watched the women beat Furman, about 65 to 55. Good game - we DO enjoy watching games in other cities! Because we had a nice easy route in and out of town, I didn't even bring the atlas or anything - why WOULD I? SO - we get out of the game about 7:00 or so and start back downtown to get onto the expressway, and ALL of the through streets are blocked off - they're having their SANTA CLAUS PARADE! We basically just followed traffic through town, assuming eventually we'd find the expressway. And, just for extra fun, the gas light came on. But - don't be scared - everything came out fine. We found the X-way, we got gas, and we made it home OK - WHEW!
