A Coin Flip Vacation!

My wife Tammy and I took a crazy vacation using the direction of not a GPS, map, or compass. We simply did something different. We flipped a coin and took off with a tank of gas and a cooler of cold cuts.

We had talked about it for years. Taking a road trip not knowing were we would end up. When we were at the end of Blackberry Lane, (The road we live on) we took a coin and flipped it! That would tell us the direction we would head. Heads to the right and tails to the left. We went left. Every time we came to a intersection, I would flip the coin. If it was heads, we would continue to go straight. Tails meant I would flip it again to see if we went L or R.

We ended up in Chattanooga, TN. The next morning we took a tour of "Ruby Falls". Ruby Falls is a cave that starts out at 260 feet below ground at Look Out Mountain with a temp of 60 degrees farenheight year round. As we took the tour, we were lead to a water fall that was the most beautiful natural sight I have ever seen!

The man who sunk the shaft to open the cave back up, (the mouth had been closed by the government years earlier) named the water fall after his wife "Ruby". She would often go there to rest her mind from the cares of this world.

It cost around $16.00 for each adult and it was worth every penny of it too.

Find you a coin and flip it. May be the best trip you have ever took. It has been for me.
