Cumberland River

After D began the last round, I dropped M at the airport and then spent an hour or two exploring a little bit.

Opryland - the resort, the mall, and the Grand Old Opry - are located about 6 miles upstream of downtown Nashville. Just downstream of the Gaylord complex there's a new pedestrian bridge that links the bike trail on the right bank to Two Rivers Park. The suspension bridge provides great views of the river and one is only barely aware of the Briley Parkway or Opryland. You can see the General Jackson paddlewheeler moored upstream, which adds a historic effect to the image.
