The River Gorge Explorer in Chattanooga, Tennessee

The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

and their grandson, Alex Jones
at the Chattanooga Riverboat Cruise / the River Gorge Explorer
July 4, 2011

The two RV Gypsies and their grandson cruised on the Tennessee Aquarium's sleek new boat, the River Gorge Explorer. This 70-passenger catamaran, the first of its kind in the Southeast, transported them downstream into “Tennessee's Grand Canyon, the Tennessee River Gorge."

Four water jets propelled this hydrofoil-assisted vessel smoothly and swiftly downstream. Angled seating allowed each one to relax in the climate-controlled cabin and enjoy the scenic beauty and wildlife through oversized windows.

The Tennessee Aquarium's sleek new boat, the River Gorge Explorer.	An Aquarium naturalist led the excursion and showed the two RV Gypsies where the boat will tour.

When the trip began, everyone had to be on the lower deck in their seats because the boat goes fast and it has to do sudden stops quite often due to other boat traffic. But eventually the boat traveled at a slower speed and everyone was free to go to the upper deck. This was a nice trip, but nothing overly exciting. Hopefully, Alex enjoyed it because this trip was all about him.



Below: While walking from the boat to the parking lot, Alex saw a BRICK couch on the sidewalk and took a break. It did not look very comfortable to the two RV Gypsies.
