I got pictures!!! Not artistic in the least but still thought I would share. I took a ride thru Raccoon Mountain (wich is owned by TVA. There's a man made lake on top of it that everyone's heard that its a underwater missile silo. after visiting it..... I'm gonna have to say that it is lol.) Anyway these are pics of me and my friend Josh doing the bike trails up there. He's histerical.

Me before we started.

At the end of the down hill that I mentioned before, it led to this rock hanging off of the bluff. Great view of the Tennessee river etc. but a tad hazy. Right on the edge!!

That's some beautiful country! I have a buddy in Franklin that's been wanting me to take a trip out there. I need to find my camera and take some pictures here in Tucson.. you won't believe how drastic a difference it is between here and there.. I've never seen so much green since the last time I went up to Montana. Love the pics man!

Yeah from the stories I've heard from him about it, it doesn't sound like paradise. Hey you ever check out Devil's Cave over there? I'm dying to go see that.

The more that I do stuff like this bike trip (its only about 25 minutes from my house, on the opposite side of town) I realize that Tennessee is one great state. Not many places around that have scenery like this ya know?

Of the places I've see, I'd have to agree. Altho New Mexico is awesome, I've been all over that place, and Montana is amazing too.
