Along the Little Tennessee River

A ride along the river, Citico creek area.

Off the main road, lots to see on the Chota/Jones Island peninsula:

Monument to Tanasi, just down the peninsula. The state's name came from this.

I'm trying a new way of posting photos using PicasaWeb rather than Hello, where I have to post each photo separately and can't link them all at once. I like this, but it made the photos too small (which is why I've continued to use Hello til now), but I think I've figured out how to tweak it. I have more photos from this ride, but not enough time to post them all right now. The 'Little Tennessee' link goes to the album online but without captions so far. Will get more of these photos posted -- and captioned -- soon.
