The website is very helpful ! :D We will be staying in Gatlinburg at the Log Cabin Rent house for a week to view Smoky Mountains. American Chopper used to be live in Knoxville, TN before. He will guide me around that area in East. We may stop by Dolly s fevesital. We are not sure about visiting to Memphis which is approx 4 hrs to drive. It would be very interesting for me to visit Greenland. I used to be fond Elvis in 1970's when I was teenager. ;)

ah sabby. let me be ur climbing guide in chattanooga. :D 90 min driving from my home to chattanooga.. hmm ! jk
 
Yes Yes! I was born in Chattanooga.

Chattanooga has so much more to do outdoors. If any of you enjoy natural swimming holes, I can tell you where the best swimming hole you'll ever go to is.

cool... where is that ? i always go to foster falls, tennessee walls, starr mountains, and lookout mtn for climbing only around chattanooga. i dont know much about swimming hole. is it like hot spring ?
 
No, not a hot spring. Its just a part along a creek, that is large enough to swim. This particular one, the Blue Hole is about 12 feet deep, chrystal clear, and has some huge spots to jump in. There is 1 cliff that looks over it, that is perhaps 30 feet up, that you can jump off of. Its about 15 minutes north of Chattanooga, in Soddy Daisy.
 
thanks central34. i will take ur note and will check on it when i ll have a spare time. maybe it will be a bath time after climbing in summer time. :)
 
Some asked earlier in this thread if the real Elvis was Irish too, like the actor playing him? I found this online:

A Scottish writer has traced Elvis's roots back 300 years to Lonmay, a little village in Scotland near Aberdeen.

It came from this page:

Elvis bio and trivia

Also Presley family lineage is displayed here:

Presley Family

So it looks like he may have been of Scottish origin, or at least in paternal branch of his family.

He also had Jewish ancestory from his mother's side, which would make him Jewish too, by matrilineal descent:

Elvis' Maternal lineage

I found this interesting:

...That clearly wasn't the case when Elvis Aaron Presley was growing up in "the Pinch," the Jewish quarter of Memphis. Wallace says Elvis was advised by his father, Vernon, and his manager, Col. Tom Parker, to downplay his Jewish ancestry. Elvis' hairdresser and spiritual adviser, Larry Geller, recently told Wallace that Gladys Presley gave her son the same advice "because people didn't like Jews."

The whole article is here:

"King of the Jews" article

There is more on the Jewish part, and also a mention of American Indian as well in this article:

More on Elvis ancestory

I often wear a chai similar to that too! (Picture in last article)

So there you go! He was part Scottish, Jewish, American Indian... and who knows what else as well?!?!
