For years, I have heard about this part of the Tennessee River between Chattanooga and Guntersville, AL that is often called the "Grand Canyon of the Tennessee." Monday of the trip is always a day of rest but this time, I got coerced into getting on the jet ski and locking through Chickamauga Dam and riding 40 miles to Hales Bar and back. It was my first time in a lock and surprisingly, wasn't as bad as I feared. We had gone to Panera in Chattanooga to get a nice, gourmet sandwich for lunch and when we got there, our friends, Susan and Jerry had thoughtfully brought along a bottle of chardonnay to complement the meal. The ride back to Chattanooga seemed a whole lot shorter. I really did not want to do this but I figured it was better than going to the Aquarium again!
