Roadtrip NJ-Nashville

[johng]

I am planning on driving from NJ to Nashville, TN via Lexington, KY

in late August and am looking for input on places to photograph. I

have about 10 days to spend and am interested in natural/scenic

areas, historical locations, architecture, etc. Unfortunately, my

traveling partner has limited mobility. She can handle short walks

of a few hundred yards, but hiking is out of the question.

Therefore, I was thinking of spending most of my time in the

Nashville area. Beyond the Ryman, Grand Ole Opry, CMA and nearby

distilleries, can anyone offer other suggestions? Would it be worth

spending a few days in Memphis as well?

There is the obvious. Skyline drive and/or Blue Ridge Parkway (Virgina to North Carolina) . You certainly could take in some sights in the Smokey Mountains too by car.

Check out the PA Grand Canyon. It has execelent wheel chair access to the rim of the canyon. It is about mid state on route 6. Route 6 is a very scenic road and well maintaine. Route 6 hits Erie on OH and its interstate to Nashville. PA has a nice site at http://www.visitpa.com/ and my include other areas. You did not mention a time of year, Frank.

Thanks. I should have mentioned that I visited the Great Smokey Mountains NP and drove the length of Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway in Spring 2002. While all are worth repeating, I want to try something new on this trip.
