8-29-2013, Chattanooga, TN Mile 464.0

Thursday:   Got going about 09:00. Brought up a lot of mud on the anchor this morning. The scenery just gets more beautiful the closer we get to Chattanooga. We got here about 13:30 and got settled in and went up to Market Street for some lunch. We didn’t realize that the time changed just before Chattanooga so we are back in Eastern Time Zone again. It was real hot again today in the high 90's. We walked around downtown a little this afternoon; it is a very nice downtown area.
