I am blessed to live in the great green state of Tennessee, home to some of the best little curvy two lanes, such as the imfamous Deal's Gap (aka "The Dragon"). But on the way back from Florida a couple of weeks ago, I decided to get off the interstate and take a "See Rock City" day trip.
Rock City is a old tourist attraction on Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga. Fifty years ago, the South was lettered with signs painted on barns across the country that said "See Rock City". They are almost all gone, but the little two lane, Hwy 41, that runs through Tennessee that used to be the main highway before I-24 is still there, with some wicked twisties in places, particularly coming over Mont Eagle.
Sooo...we drove Highway 41 from Lookout Mountain to Nashville that Sunday afternoon, and it was a delight- although my wife was less than pleased at the speed I took on a couple of hairpin curves. Can't wait to find a few more of those.:burnout:
