Fixing the Whistle
Nellie's whistles weren't loud enough. It turns out that the pressure regulator on the compressor was the problem. It was greatly reducing the amount of air that could pass through the system. I bypassed the regulator today. Problem is solved.
Walking Bridge on the Left Descending Bank
Chattanooga is a very pretty city. It's amazing how many museums and parks there are.
Top of the Bluff
Restaurants at the top of the Bluff remind us of Italy, especially those with the vine covered trellises.
Walking the Riverside Trail
There's at least a seven-mile walkway along the river, we walked five miles today. It was good to get out but we could really feel the summer heat coming on.
Flowering Shrub
For a while today we were all alone at the dock. Tonight five boats came in. Dwindling quickly are the days when we get places all to ourselves. The increased traffic and the increased temperatures mean summer is right around the corner.
Kudzu: The Shore Side Zebra Mussel
I thought it was ironic after learning, yesterday, about zebra mussels, that today we would see Kudzu completely taking over a hillside. Both zebra mussels and Kudzu grow so quickly they overwhelm and smother anything in their paths.
At the Olgiatti Dock in downtown Chattanooga. No miles today and holding at 2345 for the journey. DBH
