G.A.S.P.

We awoke the following morning (3-20) to find that the nasty weather had passed during the night.  There were still a few clouds around, but not of the serious variety.  We headed off toward Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, just seven miles south of Chattanooga.  We traveled up and down for awhile in the last vestiges of mountains, then found a great mile-long downhill that took us out of the mountains and into the hills.

Fort Oglethorpe is on the edge of the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park.  We will visit there tomorrow morning before again heading north toward Nashville and Mammoth Cave National Park.

The bicycle problem of the day belonged to Gene as the sidewall of his new front tire blew out near Dalton.  We replaced it with my spare and limped into Fort Ogelthorpe where he got a new one, hopefully of better quality than the last one (which lasted only about 300 miles).
