Monday Sept. 23 

34 miles     Chattanooga to Tenn. river mm #498.1

We left Chattanooga at 1010. Only 6 miles up river was the Chickamauga lock that we needed to go through. We shared our ride up in the lock with one other boat. This lock brought us up 70 feet.

 This section of the river didn’t have the high cliffs but the scenery was just as beautiful.

 

We passed by the Sequoyah nuclear power plant with twin 460-foot towers. It amazed me that you are allowed to get so close to it while cruising by.  

 

At 1510 we pulled off the river into a little cove to anchor for the night.
