Chattanooga visit

No blog on Friday as we traveled 600 miles to Chattanooga to meet the Dorris family. A great family and they provided a great reception as well.  We had plenty of laughs and family stories and a little bit of singing.  We also spent Saturday touring the battlefields around Chattanooga. I did not realize the major battle that took place here. In a residential area along Missionary Ridge, it is common for large historical plaques describing the regiment that fought on / attacked from that point. One house had two cannons in the front yard, one pointing at the front door. How is that for a burglary deterrent system? 

Some are still fighting.
