Of course much larger area, but not far away is Chattanooga where we just had the HET National Meet the last week of June this year. We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo which accommodated over 135 cars and over 600 registered for the week-long event. We were lucky enough to get a room in one of the pullman cars right beside the drive into the back parking lot where all the cars and many vendors were setup. We watched the cars come and go until late in the evenings. Many things to see and do. We went to Rock City, the drive across the TVA reservoir up on the mountain, took a train rid to the train museum, toured the Coker Tire Museum and Honest Charley's, and the National Towing Museum. There was an evening riverboat cruise on the Tennessee River that we did not go on but many folks did. Some folks went to one of the caves in the area. Of course there is the big acquarium and many restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Tours every day, meeting rooms set up for technical discussions. Big dining room right across from out room where we had breakfast each day.
