Riding Tennessee Counties: A Place Stuck in Time Alternate US 70: Milan to Waverly

This is a collection of roads that I have ridden throughout Tennessee.  Here is a small sample of the best roads between the Mississippi River and Bristol.  These roads are a must to achieve Motorcycle nirvana in Tennessee.

This road takes you to a different time.    Bypassed by the major interstates it seems time has stopped in these towns.  Leaving Milan which is known for its Army Ammunition Plant we turn onto Alternate US Highway 70 we follow a winding road to Huntington Tennessee the County seat of Carol County.  With a population of 3,900 it is your above average Tennessee small town,  We stop for lunch and I ask the waitress, what is Huntingdon famous for?  Her answer was the Mustangs the High School Football team.  A 1A football program that has won a championship or two in the past.   With a standard southern downtown, with a picturesque Courthouse, town square, and standard old time movie theater Huntington is a symbol of the past.


We continue our ride to Camden where we cross the Tennessee River which is flowing into Kentucky Lake.  After crossing to river we arrive in Waverly another small southern Tennessee Town. We then turn north onto Tennessee 13 for the final push home to Clarksville.
