One of Lee's favorite things to do is explore firetowers. They are scattered all over the state and are free to climb. Some lookout towers (firetowers) are in good condition and easy to climb, some are in poor condition. This website should help you find good ones to climb: http://www.cs.utk.edu/ ~dunigan/towers/This tower is in Celina, TN. It's about 2 hours from Nashville, near Dale Hollow lake. We took a day trip there from Cookeville.
The view from the top of the tower is amazing. This tower is locked at the top, as most are. The highest you can get is the base of the room. I always find it peaceful at the top. Everything is quiet except for the wind and maybe a barking dog nearby.
Not far from the tower is the Dale Hollow Dam. Lee also loves dams. He pretty much loves anything structural. So, if you are in the mood for heights and dams, Celina is the place for you to visit!
