The rest of 10.












So we had broken free of Uncle Pete's. We were on the road again! The outside was moving! We got a somewhat late start, at like 3:30pm or something, so skating was out of the question for the night. Or so we thought... We were headed to Loganville, GA about a half hour east of Atlanta. It was a pretty straight shot, but we didn't know where we were gonna stay. We decided to stop in Chatanooga for wifi and gas. We could have stopped anywhere, but anywhere is not called Chatanooga. Chatanooga. The town was ghostly. We made it into the heart of the city before we could even find someone to ask directions to a skatepark. We talked to some window shopping cuties and made our way to the gas station. There was no wifi, so we drove back into the city while Ev scanned for some free internet. As soon as we found some we pulled into a parking spot and I busted out my laptop. I started looking for a place to sleep while Pierre and Geoff took Loki for a walk. A couple minutes later they came back to the bus with reports of a dream spot. A brick roller and two perfect quarter pipes. We had to skate it. It's at the aquarium in Chatanooga. Look at the pictures. It blew our minds. In the middle of our session this dude Chad came over and shot some photos. He told us the spot was like 15 years old. He's starting a magazine. Ok so anyways, we got back on the highway. Gleaming in the night sky, there was the biggest FIREWORKS sign ever. We went inside, geeked out, and exited the store with 60 dollars worth of fireworks. It was time to make our way to the next Flying J. It was 1 am when we got there. The night manager grilled Pierre a bit for a questionable parking job, but after some conversation allowed us to run a chord until 6 am. 5 hours of heat! Nobody had any idea what we would wake up to...
