Rolling on the river Chattanooga to Nashville
Hunter Museum of American Art的点评
点评：American Splendor
Chattanooga, Tenn, Decatur, Florence, Alabama, Savanna, Tn, Grand Rivers-Paducha,Ky,
Nashville, Tn. 8/23-8/30 2023.
This is an interesting area in the deep South. Until the 1930's this was a poor, polluted area
that was fought over during the Civil War. Tennessee was the last state to succeed and the
first to rejoin after the war. A good part of the population supported the Yankees and
the rest the Rebels. It was a difficult area to fight over. It was covered with thick woods,
swamps, dirt roads that turned to mud, mountains, yearly huge river floods and HEAT.
We had 5 days with a Heat Index of up to 119 degrees. When the war was over Tennessee was the first state to rejoin the United States. From the War till the 1930's the state made no progress.
With the country in deep depression, Pres. Roosevelt formed the TVA. It had several goals.
First to control the Tennessee River with 6 electricity generating dams which now services
4 states, stop the flooding and to move the area into the 20th century.
TVA has been very successful. The river towns invited in industry and became pollution
centers. Finally the Federal Government stepped in with new pollution laws and forced
the area to clean up the mess. Chattanooga was considered one of the dirtiest cities in the
country. Today, the rover towns are clean and prosperous. Each river town has it’s own
personality. Chattanooga put in free electric buses. They figured each bus would replace
159 cars a day. The many railroads cleaned up their act. Dozens of huge freights hull the towns
each day. Tourism arrived. The area boomed. Nashville gets 10 million tourists a year.
The old flooded river banks became beautiful parks. The National Park Service became a
huge asset. Now there are beautiful river boats on both the Tennessee and Cumberland
Rivers, everyone has electricity, the towns are served by airports and building has gone
wild. Nashville has so much building that 69 huge cranes dot the sky. Anyone who wants to
work can get a job.
This year American Cruise Line opened up a new cruise from Chattanooga to Nashville.
Our boat, American Splendor, was a replica of the steamboats that use to haul cargo up
and down the river. We cruised mostly at night and went ashore during the day.
It was comfortable, the food excellent the crew fully American. Before the TVA dams
went in most of the towns were flooded out. Now with the dams, each town
has several beautiful park.
Day 1 was getting to Chattanooga and over nigh in a hotel. We had 4 busses that
followed the boat and supplied all of our transportation with great local guides.
Always, on the way to the boat we get a local tour. Usually it is spectacular, as
this one was. After touring to town, we followed the theme of Battle Above the
Stars. A major battle took place at Lookout Mountain- We rode up an incline,
visited the National Park Service and went over to Rock City a huge area with
two trails through a gorge with spectacular rock formations. A great start despite
a very hot- 96 degree day. The American Cruise line draws many senior. They
make an active effort to involve them in the town visits with golf carts and busses.
They are actively involved in all activities and getting to the buses. The Line
always start with spectacular and interesting events.
On board, we had a guest lecturer- Captain Tom. A former Tug Skipper who
made interesting history presentations along the river and before each town.
Day 2 took us to Decatur, Al. There was a loop bus, hop and hop off in every town.
Many of us went to the Huntsville huge space center and it got Hotter. The person
who invented air conditioning should be sainted. The buses and bus drivers were
excellent as were the local guides.
As we moved up the Tennessee River we went through several dam/locks
The process always drew a crowd. We saw some animals and several Bald Eagles.
In Florence, Alabama we were introduced to Native American history and the
Trail of Tears. The Native Americans fought over the land with the settlers.
Andrew Jackson rounded them up and forced them to walk to Oklahoma. In later
years some returned and are keeping their history alive. We visited a memorial
site.
As we moved up the river we saw huge farms that raised corn, soybeans and
hay. The crops are then put in huge barges and taken to the Mississippi and
down to Baton Rouge to be shipped around the world. Along the river there are
Huge Grain Elevators to load the crops and a large operation to make Cat Food.
In Savannah, Tenn. We visited the Shiloh Battle Field.The area is heavily
forested, And the site of a deadly Civil War Battle. Over 24,000 were killed.
And it was Hotter.
Grand Rivers,Ky was a neat little river town of about 300. We were toured on
two horse and buggies each pulled by two Draft Horses . A neat way to see their
town. That day the Heat Index was 119.
A few of us went over to Paducah to see the huge mural river wall to protect
the town from the Mississippi flooding. The wall is part of a 12 mile Flood Wall
that has about 70 huge murals relating to the area history and the Mississippi.
They were spectacular. Something unusual happened a rain shower. They also
have a real locomotive and several cars on display. Neat.
The Last stop is Nashville- It is rapidly becoming the a major tourist site
with 10 million people a year, 100 down town Honketonk bars, beautiful
parks and lots of hotels. We docked next to about 6 wear houses that are being
restored and redeveloped. Everything relates to country music and the Grand
Old Opera. Our last stop was a show at Opry.
Both ways the flights both ways were fast. The non stop is just one hour and 30 minutes.
Except for the weather, I would do it again. It is a nice way to travel.

田纳西州查塔努加、迪凯特、阿拉巴马州弗洛伦斯、田纳西州萨凡纳、肯塔基州大河-帕杜查、田纳西州纳什维尔。2023 年 8 月 23 日至 8 月 30 日。
这是美国南部一个有趣的地区。直到 20 世纪 30 年代，这里还是一个贫穷、污染严重的地区，
在南北战争期间曾发生过争夺。田纳西州是最后一个成功并
且战后第一个重新加入的州。大部分人口支持北方军，其余人口支持叛军。这是一个很难争夺的地区。这里覆盖着茂密的树林、
沼泽、变成泥浆的土路、山脉、每年都会发生的大河洪水和高温。
有 5 天，高温指数高达 119 度。战争结束后，田纳西州是第一个重新加入美国的州。从战争到 20 世纪 30 年代，该州没有取得任何进展。
国家陷入严重萧条，罗斯福总统成立了田纳西河管理局。它有几个目标。
首先，通过 6 座发电大坝控制田纳西河，目前这些大坝为 4 个州提供服务，阻止洪水泛滥，并将该地区带入 20 世纪。
田纳西河管理局非常成功。河畔城镇吸引了工业，成为污染中心。最后，联邦政府介入，颁布了新的污染法，迫使该地区清理混乱局面。查塔努加被认为是该国最脏的城市之一。如今，流动城镇干净而繁荣。每个河畔城镇都有自己的个性。查塔努加推出了免费的电动巴士。他们估计每辆巴士每天将取代 159 辆汽车。许多铁路公司清理了他们的行为。每天有数十辆大型货运车辆驶过城镇。旅游业兴起。该地区蓬勃发展。纳什维尔每年接待 1000 万游客。
旧时被洪水淹没的河岸变成了美丽的公园。国家公园管理局成为了一笔巨大的财富。现在田纳西河和坎伯兰河上都有漂亮的河船，每个人都有电，城镇都有机场，建筑业也疯狂起来。纳什维尔的建筑如此之多，以至于天空中点缀着 69 座巨大的起重机。任何想工作的人都可以找到工作。
今年，美国邮轮公司开辟了一条从查塔努加到纳什维尔的新航线。
我们的船，美国辉煌号，是用来在河上来回运送货物的蒸汽船的复制品。我们大部分时间在晚上航行，白天上岸。
船上很舒适，食物很棒，船员都是美国人。在田纳西河谷管理局修建大坝之前，大多数城镇都被洪水淹没了。现在有了大坝，每个城镇都有几个美丽的公园。
第一天我们到达查塔努加，在一家酒店过夜。我们有 4 辆巴士跟着船，为我们所有的交通提供了优秀的当地导游。在去乘船的路上，我们总会参加当地的游览。通常都很壮观，就像这次一样。游览完城镇后，我们继续游览“星空之上的战斗”。一场大战发生在瞭望山——我们骑着马爬上斜坡，参观了国家公园管理局，然后去了岩石城，那里有两条穿过峡谷的小径，峡谷中有着壮观的岩层。尽管天气非常炎热——华氏 96 度，但这是一个很棒的开始。美国游轮公司吸引了许多老年人。他们积极努力让老年人乘坐高尔夫球车和巴士参与城镇游览。他们积极参与所有活动并乘坐巴士。这条线路总是以壮观而有趣的事件开始。在船上，我们有一位客座讲师——汤姆船长。他曾是拖船船长，在河边和每个城镇前做了有趣的历史演讲。第二天我们去了阿拉巴马州迪凯特。那里有一辆环线巴士，每个城镇都有上下车。我们中的许多人去了亨茨维尔的大型太空中心，那里变得更热了。发明空调的人应该被尊为圣人。公共汽车和公共汽车司机都很棒，当地导游也一样。
当我们沿着田纳西河向上移动时，我们经过了几个水坝/水闸
这个过程总是吸引着人群。我们看到了一些动物和几只白头鹰。
在阿拉巴马州的佛罗伦萨，我们了解了美洲原住民的历史和
血泪之路。美洲原住民与定居者争夺土地。
安德鲁·杰克逊把他们围起来，强迫他们步行到俄克拉荷马州。后来，有些人回来了，并保留了他们的历史。我们参观了一个纪念地。
当我们沿着河流向上移动时，我们看到了种植玉米、大豆和
干草的大型农场。然后，这些农作物被装上巨大的驳船，运往密西西比河，
再运往巴吞鲁日，运往世界各地。沿河有
巨大的谷物升降机来装载农作物，还有一家大型猫粮生产厂。
在田纳西州的萨凡纳，我们参观了希洛战场。该地区森林茂密，是南北战争的战场。超过 24,000 人丧生。
而且天气更热。
肯塔基州的大河城是一个漂亮的小河镇，约有 300 人。我们乘坐两辆马车游览，每辆马车由两匹挽马拉着。这是游览他们小镇的好方法。那天的热指数是 119。
我们中的一些人去了帕迪尤卡，观看了保护小镇免受密西西比河洪水侵袭的巨大壁画河墙。这堵墙是 12 英里防洪墙的一部分，上面有大约 70 幅与该地区历史和密西西比河有关的巨型壁画。
它们非常壮观。一场阵雨发生了一件不寻常的事。他们还展示了一辆真正的火车头和几辆汽车。很棒。
最后一站是纳什维尔——它正迅速成为一个主要的旅游景点，每年有 1000 万人次，市中心有 100 家 Honketonk 酒吧、美丽的公园和许多酒店。我们停靠在正在修复和重新开发的约 6 家服装店旁边。一切都与乡村音乐和 Grand Old Opera 有关。我们的最后一站是 Opry 的一场演出。
来回的航班都很快。直飞只需一个小时 30 分钟。
除了天气，我还会再来。这是一种不错的旅行方式。
