Scenery

Most of this ride is through the small towns and rolling hills of Tenn. Nice open scenery, but the main attraction would be the quaint small towns. Watrace TN (left and right).

Road Quality

TN route 269 is a bit more narrow than the US routes, but little to no traffic and good visibility make this a nice open country ride.

Roadside Amenities

The main attraction along this ride is the whistle stop towns, which of course had their heyday in the day of the railroads (remember Fried Green Tomatoes?). These little towns now are tourists attractions for antiques, local cafes, and railroad depots.
