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.

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.

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.
