Today I walked out of the southern end of Chattanooga<\/a>, TN and through Wildwood<\/a>, Morganville, New England, and Trenton<\/a>, GA – 14 miles. The big news of the day is that I did not get wet by rain (lots of perspiration though). These area has been deluged the past week, but none on me today. I started at 75 degrees, cloudy and about 300% humidity. At the end of the day it was sunny with a few clouds and 85.<\/p>\n

Here I am at the start of the day in a Wal Mart parking lot.<\/p>\n

In just three miles, I entered Georgia.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have to admit some confusion with Morganville and New England. They are dots on the maps, but no signs on the roadside and no signs of towns or anything. Wildwood<\/a>, however, is not a dot on the map. It does, however, have a sign and a post office. I put a photo of its post office on its Wikipedia page.<\/p>\n

This walk goes through the Lookout Valley. At least I think this is called the Lookout Valley. I saw that on an old map on a historical marker. It reminds me much of the Shenandoah Valley. Route 11 runs down the middle. The Interstate (I-24 and then I-59) is parallel to Route 11 and to the west of it.<\/p>\n

Trenton, GA is the county seat of Dade County. Right in the middle of town in the middle of Route 11 is the county courthouse. I think it is the county courthouse. The corner stone says it is, but the building standing there looks more like a Federal building. It looks out of place. I put a couple of photos of Trenton<\/a> on the Wikipedia page for it.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tomorrow I should enter Alabama. I’ll be in that state for many days.<\/p>\n

Oh, Trenton has a great little used book store “Books! New and Used” on Highway 136 (a block or so west of Route 11).<\/p>\n

I love little used bookstores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
