"Country road take me home" You'll travel country roads back in time. It's a beautiful ride so just enjoy the 45 minutes it will take. It's pretty much as straight shot from the Chattanoogan Hotel but it takes longer than Google maps say. You can meet at 10:00 in the Chattanoogan Hotel parking garage, Gaynell will have a sign. If you want you can meet us the house at 10:30!

Driving Directions from Chattanoogan Hotel:
1. Turn right on Broad St. Heading south toward Lookout Mt.
2. Turn left at TN-17 S Broad St.,(toward Rock City) Continue to follow TN-17S about 5 min. Pass Incline
3. Slight right at S. Elmo Ave. (do not go up the mountain) enter GA. About 3 min.
4. Go left at the fork to GA 193
5. Continue on GA-193 S about 40 minutes
6. Turn right at Hog Jowl Rd., destination on the right

If you get lost: 
Gaynell Smith: 706-264-4116 or Carolyn Darr: 423-802-0481

PLEASE wear cool clothes! We will eat in the shade outside and yesterday it was comfortable, but please stay hydrated and stay in the house if you feel you need to.

I hope to visit the next time I come that way. My mother was Bug Shaw's second cousin. Her name was Dorothy Costello Hicks. Her mother was a Shaw and her mother's brother was Frank Shaw's dad. In fact, both my parents and other relatives are buried in the Old Antioch Cemetery, not far from Bug's house. We used to visit Bug over the years, and I remember visiting Frank Sr's store as a child.
I was worried about what would happen to the home and am glad to know it is in good hands. Thank you.
