This is my bit of a blog. Rambling words about rambling days. No focus and nothing ambitious. I seem to write most about local color, nature, and animals, and there is an incomplete chunk about my road trips of 2011.

Sewanee, Tennessee

Ellijay, Georgia to Chattanooga, Tennessee

Routes 382, 136 West. Undulating farmland. Larger farms, some cattle.

Route 75 West. Much like I-78 in New Jersey. Trees mostly. Gently rolling land.

Chattanooga - in big, flat valley.

Chattanooga to Sewanee

Route 24 North. Flat road through forested landscape of outcroppings.

Route 41 West. Very gently undulating land. Almost all forests and large farms. Very occasional commercial facility.

Sewanee, Tennessee

Sewanee is mostly the university. There is one walkable block of shops, bank, cafe, very cute. A few older homes - only cluster of potentially nineteenth-century homes seen so far this trip. Then university campus, large and open. Grand halls. Also, one neighborhood of small, private homes, mostly brick ranches, some older. Many pedestrians in "town." No market, no gas.

Very gently undulating land, no distant hills. Area around is forest.

Very quiet.


Sewanee to Altamont

Seemingly endlessly gently undulating land. Small residences, some forest along Routes 41, 56. Mostly very small homes. Many must be two or three rooms. Some of the older homes seen yet this trip. No trailer homes.
