The Rock City, Chattanooga, Tennessee

What a lovely day we had today in Chattanooga. It was a perfect day to stroll and discover new places such as the " Rock City. It was really lots of fun. We spent the whole day there. As you can see in this picture, the map of the whole Rock City. It may look small but its not. You should see it yourself. The Rock City has lots of sceneries to offer . I can name them one by one but I opt not to coz some of them we didnt take pictures of it. Its either just plain walk or nothing special. Anyway in this picture,is the Mushroom Rock.Okay, I think theres no need for me to explain why. he..he.. Oh well, this picture was taken just for fun , plain and simple. Arent we cute? Sterling was trying to strangle me again. lol!! This picture was taken at the botton layer of the Rock City, where youcan actually see clearly the falls that runs through it. This is what they call the "Stone Bridge". Well . again for a very obvious reason. How I wish they named it with something more profound. he..he.. The Swinging Bridge. This bridge is located parallel with the Stome bridge. So this picture was captured from the Stone bridge by Sterling.It was a good 50 feet drop. Pretty high, huh? The Lover's Leap. Okay here , they gave us a very good reason rather explanation why they named it Lovers Leap. According to folklore , a brave young indian, Sautee fell in love with a cherokee maiden named, Nacoochee.The maiden loved him as well, but their families ( tribes) were engaged in a feud. So to cut it short they elope but soon after that Sautee was captured and was thrown from the tip of the Lover's Leap . So Nacoochee because of despair , she quickly followed her lover , leaping to her own death in the same spot. End of Story....huh.....what a tragedy!!!
