Tennessee River

Just curious. How did the trip go for the rest of you that still did it?
 
Hey Colby,
The trip went great. The group ended up being 4 boats. I believe everyone had a great time. Thank you again for organizing it! Its too bad you and Dale were unable to make it. The river between all the mountains south of Chattanooga is very scenic. 1st day we stopped about per your plan. 2nd day we went a little farther in search of better anchorage. 3rd day was very windy right up the river so we went on plane for a more comfortable ride which resulted in arrival in Guntersville a day early. On the return we ended up on city docks in Chattanooga for 1 night. Both Guntersville and Chattanooga were great for some sightseeing and exercise.
If you decide to take another try at that stretch of river and would be interested others coming along I would be all in for doing it again.

Thanks Jeff. Sounds like it all worked out well for you. As of now, I'm thinking seriously of making that my first trip of the season in April. We are going to try snowbirding in Arizona in Jan and Feb, so very likely will not make Hontoon, which is normally my first trip of the season. I'll let you know in March if I'm still planning to do the Tennessee in April. Where did you guys end up staying that second night?
