J & Kendra Tingle with Ben & Charissa Hubbard

Our nephew J Tingle, his wife Kendra and friends Ben and Charissa Hubbard drove down for a quick visit from Chattanooga on Friday, August 15th. They left straight from work and we headed upstream to Jones Creek and anchored for the night. Saturday morning J and Ben jumped off the boat into the water and enjoyed a refreshing swim and a dinghy run over to a local rope swing. All four of them hiked up to the Pinnacle, a rock outcropping high above the anchorage.

From the top you can barely see SEASEA in the anchorage below. It took them far less time than it would have taken me to make the hike and they seemed to have enjoyed it.

Jones creek has a rather narrow channel coming in so J and Ben led us out in the dinghy to make sure we were clear of any hazards.

We always enjoy visits from our family and friends and even though this was a quick overnight trip, we had a good time and a good visit.

We are looking forward to the fall weather and the color change in the leaves. We still plan to make our trip up the Tennessee River to Knoxville sometime next month.
