A Curve in the Road: Norris Dam State Park, May 2007 While my parents were visiting us, we planned a picnic lunch at Norris Dam State Park. My dad and I spent some time wandering around the dam taking photos. Norris Dam was the first project of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Construction of Norris Dam began in 1933 and was completed in 1936. The dam project was designed to provide electricity and flood control. The dam itself is 265 feet high and stretches 1,860 feet across the Clinch River. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)
View from Millikan’s Overlook: Fall Creek Falls State Park, May 2007 Millikan’s Overlook is named after Dr. Glen Millikan, who fell to his death in May 1947, while rock climbing at this spot. Despite the somber reason for the overlook’s name, the view was spectacular. (via Robby Edwards’ Photos)
