Jack Daniels to Ocoee Marina

 Early Sunday Morning in Lynchburg, TN

breakfast at Iron Kettle

 The Lynchburg Square

 A few neat finds in the townsquare stores
I love enamelware but don't think I could drill holes in it to make this

 this was right up my sons alley, too funny

 pink, cowgirl style

 I think I need this sign

 this tin ceiling is to die for

 Jack Daniels Distillery

 Slats for making coke

 Their own firetrucks, these are retired

 The cave that the springs come from, the making of good whisky

 Affectionately called Jack on the Rocks

 First distillery office

 The safe that ultimately killed Jack, he kicked it, gangrene and died of it

 Jacks motto, that they still work by today

 Love the barrels and the jars, we were unable to buy a barrel, guess I could have carried it on my lap, NOT

 Where the magic happens

 sure tell sign of moonshine making

 the grounds were very well kept

 you can buy Jack by the barrel, about $12,000.

So, after taking a tour of both the Jack and Dickel distilleries, I've decided I like the smaller more laid back location of the Dickel. The tour was great, small group, funny guide, I just felt more welcome there. 
Funny thought, neither Richard or I drink, but we took two whiskey tours in two days

this is how they roll in Middle TN from behind it says Dead End

 the road behind

 the road ahead

 this is our idea of a road trip, no highways for us

 look at all we would miss on a highway

 great countryside

 Ocoee Dam

 we stayed at Ocoee INN

the view from the parking lot

pretty flowers planted in front of the INN

stopped to dip our toes, but only quickly we are in a no parking zone
