Sequoyah Museum

After a quiet night anchored on the south side of the Fort Loudoun State Historic Area, we cruised up the Little Tennessee River all the way to the Chilhowee dam. Found several sunken houseboats, some really cool geology (ok, my major was in Earth Science), and enjoyed the scenery. We went by the 129 Dragon Harley dealership. I wasn't aware of it, but has something to do with the Tail of the Dragon ride...Look it up. lol. Also I thought interesting was the abandoned railroad trestle that we had to pass through. I always wonder what some of the land looked like before the rivers were damned up and land flooded. This evening we are all anchored or slipped in different places, but very close together. Sea Spray is in a marina, Mystery Girl and Sunbeam are anchored next to a tiny Island, just across from me, and I'm in a very small cove (Navionics shows it as a "pond") amongst some nice homes. It was quite breezy earlier today, and chance of thunderstorms tonight around midnight. Prior to anchoring, Rosanne and I stopped at the Sequoyah Birthplace Museum. Very interesting information on the life of Sequoyah. He was a Native American polymath and neographer of the Cherokee Nation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequoyah)Read more
