Road Trip Day 3 - Pigeon Mountian

Day 3 of the IRT (Impromptu Road Trip, if you haven't been keeping tabs) was so full of beautiful stuff we were too overwhelmed to do it justice. Still are, apparently.

Simply put, we picnicked, hiked, then did a little climbing at Crockford Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area - Armuchee, GA. [Terrain View] This is a fairly large park that offers just about every park-related activity you can think of. The section of park we were in is called the Pocket Loop and it is perfect for a partial day's outing. The wildflowers were in full bloom and the falls had enough volume (even with the ongoing drought) to give us a spectacular view. The trails range from easy to intermediate, and the two main trails in this area of the park end either below or above the falls, depending one which one you take.

After all that back woods excitement we hauled ourselves back to Chattanooga to eat at Bea's, home of THE BEST (and there really is no disputing this) fried chicken in the South. It's just one of those things you have to experience for yourself, then once you do you will agree that we are correct. Bea's is a family style restaurant with a big lazy susan in the middle of every 8-person table. The waitresses bring out the food as fast as you can eat it, then you spin it around until you are stuffed. At about US$8.00 a head, it's close to unbeatable. [Map to Bea's]
