[TenTec] Memphis Via Sevierville (OT)

[Stuart Rohre]

Thanks Carl for bailing me out.  I had not driven the Interstates up 
that way in awhile.  Even before Interstates, once you get down off the 
moutains and hills past Knoxville, you go down on pretty straight open 
roads across to Memphis.  Used to ride that way with parents going to 
see my Grandmother in North Carolina.

One year we would go the northern route through Memphis, and another 
year we would do the Southern route from TX to LA, MS, AL, GA, and then 
up to NC.

Going across from Memphis as you got nearer to TN/ NC border, you saw 
"See Rock City", and "See Ruby Falls" signs beside the road, like the 
old Burma Shave signs.
I finally, one summer, got to see Rock City and Ruby Falls outside 
Chattanooga.  I think my parents encouraged my sister and I to count 
those signs as a way to keep us behaving.
73,
