Summer plans to visit my mother in-law allowed us our first ever visit to the lovely southern state of Tennessee. Never having been to Tennessee I was sort of excited about the idea of visiting a new state. The boy did his 5 th grade state report on Tennessee so we got to read a lot about the Civil War, the Chickasaw , and Choctaw Indian tribes, the Predators , the Grizzlies and the Titans (the boy was sorely disappointed to learn that Tennessee does not have a pro baseball team), Elvis Presley, Davy Crockett and Billy Ray Cyrus. But nowhere in our research did we come across anything about … The Lost Sea. Located in Sweetwater, The Lost Sea is billed as the home of “America’s Largest Underground Lake,” (are there others??) Well this was something I had to see, so on Thursday we rented ourselves a car, grabbed our GPS unit, and left our lake front lodgings and the southern hospitality of Fairfield Glade in search of… The Lost Sea. Let’s back up a few hundred years.
