Left: Jack Daniel's office at the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg.   I enjoyed an outstanding tour of the facility and was treated to free lemonade at the end of the tour.  While I was not given free samples of the finished product, I did get to taste the sour mash, which tasted like old time home brew beer.  At right, I posed with a statue of Jack Daniel on a rock at the facility.  An employee said the statue is affectionately known as "Jack on the rock!!"  This tour was well worth the drive!!  Visit:  http://www.jackdaniels.com/home.asp  

 

030426185709.jpg (86378 bytes) Downtown Lynchburg, Tennessee, population 361.  The evening I visited, they were having an outdoor concert on the town square.  It was outstanding!

The Robert E. Lee Motel in Gatlinburg.  I thought with this name, this motel had to be a great place to stay!!   I was right!!
