i ran across this photo on "pinterest" today ............................. oh how my memory flashed back to vacations the week of July 4th .......... all the limestone mills in the area closed that week ...................... mom, daddy & i would load in the car .............................. headed south to the Smokey Mountains ...............
no air conditioning in the car or motel ................... detours everywhere ..................... chain gangs .................. stopping at the local gas stations for potty breaks & a cold coca-cola (maybe some peanuts to sprinkle in!) .............. riding in the back window or floor board for a change ....................... and these wonderful barns dotted the roads south ...................................................................... don't remember ever seeing "Rock City" ................................................ but i do recall wonderful memories !.......................................................... i am blessed !

You ARE blessed. I have those same meories but we were coming from the deep south going north to camp in the mountains.
Rock City was painted on the roofs of barns on the walls and anywhere a sign could be posted.
I have those same memories and they were a blessing.
