University of Tennessee at Knoxville

After leaving Red Bay, Alabama, we headed for Knoxville.  We travel slow so we had one night in Chattanooga and then on to Knoxville. We are staying north of Knoxville 11 miles at the Raccoon Valley RV Park, it is an Escapee Park.

Our Honda locking system had become demon possessed.  It locked when ever it wanted.  When we were in Chattanooga it locked itself while being towed with the keys inside.  We had another set of keys but it wouldn't open the door. After a visit from a mobile locksmith, we were off again,  So our first stop in Knoxville, was at Rusty Wallace Honda to have them preform an exorcism.  Turns out it was a lock activator in the front driver door.

You know we love gardens, so we decided to explore the Gardens at the University of Tennessee.

When we walked in, there were water lilies to greet us.

Of course there were orange roses for the Volunteers.

Beautiful plants and flowers.

 

Vegetables.

This is a vegetable too.  It is a Balloon plant, the root is used in Chinese cooking.

Sculptures.

One last look at a beautiful garden. I'm sad it is small.  It was a panoramic view.  Won't do again.
