Linking to FRIDAY’S FENCES

On the way to Florida (READ POST) we stopped for the night in Ringgold,Georgia. There was just enough daylight for a quick tour of The Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Park.

In 1890, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park was the first such site created by Congress.

A great place for some jogging. As a matter of fact the The Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon, in its 33rd year, is run through the nation's oldest military park. Known as the "most family-friendly" marathon, the runner-up for "most scenic" marathon, and third for best overall marathon.DSC_0087

'Why, thank you very much,' he said and proceeded to walk the old girl home.

ALLEYOn the way, he said 'Let's take my short cut and go down this alley. We'll be there in no time.'
