Leisurely breakfast and then on the road. We stop at Chattanooga to visit the Chattanooga battlefield. This is the first battlefield museum, set up in 1895! This and Chicamauga about 20 miles south are still visited by military people from all over the world to study the tactics, decisions, errors, and successes of these two significant battles. I can’t imagine climbing this mountain under fire, much less firing while climbing this mountain. It is said that the cannon on the mountaintop were essentially useless because they couldn’t be turned downward enough. The cannonballs just rolled out of them and down the hill before they could be fired.
We have decided to push on to Clarksville and have dinner with my cousin Cindy and her husband, Walt. We arrive at 4:45, set a dinner time for 6 and find our campsite for the night. Since it is Ash Wednesday we change our dinner from a steakhouse to Olive Garden. We have a nice, leisurely dinner with Cindy and Walt, give her the coins from Al for her and her sister Peggy, and head back to the RV park for a quiet evening.
