actually im afaid she did not, but the plan is simple, we can hit the town, find a room, get a phone book, call every book store, asking for angie, then we make a list of all the books stores that have angies and hit them the next day, then we walk up to these angies and say "metro pulse" the one that smiles is the one we are looking for

well the army wasnt bad at all for me,
getting things done without a master plan, having an escape route, and social engineering are just a few of the perks that our "army of one" doesnt advertise. :)

Okay, you have already been to Chattanooga, but have you relaxed next to the blue water at Red Clay Historical Area? Very nice. Simple, yes. But rejuvenating.

go to London and send back pics.

But if that's unavailable then Ashville is always the good standby.

How about the Carter Family Fold in Hiltons,Va

That's a few miles from my grandparents' house. When I was a little kid, I though that's where Jimmy Carter lived.

Take a drive (or bike ride, for that matter) through the Sequatchie Valley. Start in Crab Orchard, go around Black Mountain, through the town of Homestead and then drop down into one of only 2 rift valleys in the world (the other being in Africa). Visit Pikeville (I got a first rate mullet photo there), Dunlap and Whitwell. It's drop dead gorgeous and nobody ever goes there. I don't know why.
