All Aboard.... for the Road Trip recap!
Train goodbye animated emoticon



Recent postings were a real time representation of my mood, attitude and situation as events unfolded on
our recent missadventure Friday 5/14/21 .

I had left my laptop at home and there was too much heavy shit going down to "Phone it In"
Phone Shock animated emoticon



We chose Chattanooga Tn. for the sole purpose of a steam train excursion.



The drive was longer than our occasional jaunts, but was uneventful.

At check in to the hotel, around 10:00 pm, the attendant recommended that we reconsider taking a non smoking room over the smoking room requested.

"That section gets rough, you may like the non smoking section better." :shock:

So we took what was offered and the adventure began.

While walking the dogs there were many characters of the night to traverse.
One car stopped and the driver hissed "PSSSt, hey". I turned the other way and just kept smoking. The dogs stayed calm as did I.
Maybe he wanted to sell, maybe he wanted to buy? I had nothing to sell and wanted nothing out on that corner.

Through the rest of the night we were serenaded by random chorus of cursing outside of our window. Puddin Head and Tuther Boy let them know that we had no interest in their presence.

The "Shady Rest" and restless natives would have been enough to seek other accommodations but the topper of the morning was
when it started raining in the bathroom.

The only way I am willing to share a shower is in person. We checked out.

As tensions heightened we, with anguish, suffered several phone calls with hotels to get new reservations.
There is a mini story within just getting new accommodations that I will not bore you with.
Be assured that my swearing capabilities were utilized.

Back on track.

Our evening plans were also rescheduled, now we would be staying an additional night.:cuss:
Gratuitous cussing added here.

Searching for lunch was an adventure by itself.

We drove around looking for local restaurants. Some were closed or not what we wanted for lunch.
Just driving around to look was not working so "Google".

The first diner google took us to had bars on all entrances and exits including windows.

We drove on by.


Closer to 2:00 PM we were lucky enough to find The Boathouse.

The Boathouse gets 5 stars *****.
Boathouse Rotisserie & Raw Bar - Chattanooga

The Salmon Bisque, Oysters Rockefeller and New Orleans BBQ style shrimp where awesome and worth writing home about.
Highly recommended to the seafood loving traveler.

After eating it was noticed that the Subaru need gas too. That fucker was flatlined. the digital reading of miles to empty read "-----":o

:cuss:

Knowing the recent pipeline ordeal would play a role in finding gas it was no surprise that more than one
station was out of gas.

The third station was a winner. I started filling the tank. When the meter hit $0.99 the pump shut down. WTF

It was time to roll another one.

Gas Pump emoticon
WTF $0.99? REALY??:wall:

Living on the edge of the wildside is a gamble. Looking on the brightside .99 would be enough to get us to the next pump.:clap:
After passing a few more stations we arrived at a Mobil station that was able to fill our needs.
Party animated emoticon


By this time in the journey we had missed the train yet again.:finger:

All scheduled stops had to be postponed until Sunday.:-x

Not all was lost as the sun was still on our side. We drove around the city and countryside just to see what was around the next corner.
.
Can you really see 7 states from Lookout Mountain?
The edge of Lookout Mountain is already in Georgia and a half mile from Chattanooga, TN. If you look southwest from your vantage point at the edge of Lookout Mountain, you'll see Alabama 25 miles away. People also say that when the sky is clear and with a good set of binoculars you can see up to 7 different states.

No idea how much can be seen in this clip but this is Chattanooga from the top of Lookout Mountain.

This oasis was located on the side of the mountain.

On the way to our new accomodations it was decided to stop at the Lodge
South Pittsburg, TN | Lodge Cast Iron Factory Store | Lodge Cast Iron


Lots of ideas in there. We chose the Kickoff 12" cast iron grill.

Time had come to relax and regenerate.

Checking in at the new hotel was uneventful.
Phew animated emoticon


As the days adventures had heightened tensions, it was time to whip out the stress relief.

this is why I quit going to Mexico.......


In Mexico, cartels are hunting down police at their homes
A lot of them (officers) have decided to desert. They took their families, abandoned their homes and they are fleeing and in hiding,” Saucedo said. “The CJNG is hunting the elite police force.
