What we’re about
"I chose the road less travelled… Now I don’t know where I am."
"Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost, and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that." - Ellen Degeneres
"Bring a compass. It's awkward when you have to eat your friends." - Unknown
So maybe we caught your interest?
Quick note then I’ll tell you what we’re about. We’ve never gotten lost or had to look at members as a food source. This is Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures not the Donner Party (some of you will get that).
We enjoys the outdoors in all forms. Events like Hiking, Rafting, Kayaking, and everything else.
But wait there’s more! I sound like a Ginsu knife commercial. Let’s not let any of the Donners have one of those.
We also plan other great activities in and around Chattanooga. Not just hiking. Musical events, food and wine festivals. A concert in a cave, you get the idea
It’s an open group and would love to get everyone involved and plan a lot of different things. Inclusion and fun are key.
Not just hiking, Adventures of all kinds

So here we go...
I had a conversation about chatgpt with a friend. I never used it. I always thought it could never get as twisted in it's writing as me.Boy Howdy I was wrong! I asked it to write a Redneck version of the Rocky Horror picture show. It did and it is so twisted.
We could be really good friends! I need someone who thinks like this in my life.
Here is the masterpiece it created.
"The Rowdy Honky-Tonk Picture Show"
An Outrageous Southern-Fried Musical Parody***
🎸Concept Summary:
When two uptight city folk get stranded deep in the backwoods of Alabama after their Prius breaks down, they stumble upon a neon-lit, dirt-road honky-tonk known only as “The Hoot’n Holler Manor”. Inside, a wild cast of moonshine-fueled misfits led by the flamboyant, boot-stompin' mad scientist Dr. Bubby Ray unveils their ultimate creation: a perfect Southern beefcake, Cletus, built not from science... but from swamp magic and possum grease.
What unfolds is a whirlwind of country-fried chaos, shotgun weddings, cousin-kissin' confessions, mullet transformations, and rhinestone-studded dreams — all set to toe-tappin', banjo-thumpin', parody songs inspired by the Rocky Horror soundtrack.***
🧑🌾 Main Characters:
- Dr. Bubby Ray (parody of Frank N. Furter) – A cross-dressing, beer-chugging, sass-spewing madman in cut-off jorts and cowboy boots. He’s "just a sweet corn-fed transvestite… from the backwoods of Tennessee."
- Jethrine and Melvin (parody of Janet and Brad) – A prudish engaged couple from Atlanta who’ve never seen a tractor up close.
- Cletus (parody of Rocky) – A shirtless, muscle-bound farm boy with the IQ of a fencepost and the libido of a raccoon in heat.
- Uncle Hoss (parody of Riff Raff) – Bubby Ray’s grizzled, possum-hunting sidekick with a mysterious past and a suspiciously close relationship with…
- Lurleen (parody of Magenta) – His spitfire cousin/sister/roommate. No one knows for sure.
- Sheriff Bubba Joe (parody of Dr. Scott) – A wheelchair-bound lawman trying to shut down the honky-tonk and save the moral fiber of the South.
***
🎶 Song Parody Titles:
- “Double-Wide Time Warp”
“Let’s do the time-warp again!” becomes
“Let’s do the double-wide dance again!”
2. “Sweet Tea Transvestite”Dr. Bubby Ray's big entrance number.
"I'm just a sweet tea transvestite / From the bootleg backwoods of Tenn-uh-seeee..."
3. “I Can Plow That”Cletus's seductive debut. Think “Sword of Damocles” with a tractor and hay bales.
4. “Dammit, Melvin!”A call-and-response between the straight-laced couple and the redneck insanity surrounding them.
5. “Moonshine Makes Me Moist”A sultry duet between Jethrine and Bubby Ray in the still house.
6. “Don’t Dream It, Fry It”An inspirational deep-fried gospel ballad about being your authentic self… in overalls.
7. “Super Southern Hero”Sheriff Bubba Joe’s dramatic ballad from his camo-covered wheelchair.
***
🛻 Key Scenes:
- The Breakdown: Melvin’s Prius hits a pothole the size of a kiddie pool. Cell service? Nope. Banjo music? Yup.
- The Honky-Tonk Reveal: A neon sign flickers in the distance: “Hoot’n Holler Manor: Karaoke Tuesdays – Gators Welcome.”
- Cletus Comes Alive: Lightning strikes a still, and Cletus is born in a blaze of corn liquor and tractor fumes.
- Squeal or Be Squealed: A dramatic chase through the pigpen, featuring a Dolly Parton impersonator and a mechanical bull.
- Final Showdown: Uncle Hoss and Lurleen reveal their true alien identities — they’re from the planet Y’allsarion 9.

Brunch at Frothy Monkey then The Chattanooga Jazz fest
Frothy Monkey, 1400 Market Street, Chattanooga, TN, USSunday Funday Event
So we're going to start with brunch. I figure the easiest spot for it is at the Frothy Monkey. What is a Frothy Monkey. I mean Old Yeller in the book was a Yellow Cur not a Lab. He was frothy. I mean I saw the movie. Like Old Yeller did the owners have to bust a cap in their rabid Mr. Bubbles the Chimp? Spoiler alert for the end of Old Yeller there!
Where did the term Monkey business come from? Sometimes Monkey business can be fun. Turns out to be unclear in its origins though. I do like it's synonym of buffoonery. I know a buffoon or two. I have been called one... Well, actually other things too.
A grease monkey is a car mechanic. They have to be nimble and work in tight spaces. So I can see that.
A monkey wrench it turns out was an actual wrench invented in Worcester, Mass. Turns out to throw a Monkey wrench into something is the United States answer to the British saying "throw a spanner in the works." Our saying is cooler. Aren't they always? I wonder if the Brits know what a skid mark is? Do they have spanner business? Not nearly as fun as Monkey business.
So while we will never know why the Monkey is Frothy (rabies?)
Lets have Brunch at
The Frothy MonkeyThen its on to the Chattanooga Jazz Fest. It is free, in the same building, and best of all it don't cost nothin! They actually bill it as Jazz, Blues, and Funk. So take a chill lazy Sunday and listen to some Jazz and maybe grab a pint next store at Wanderlinger. Keep it cool, daddy-o. in the words of Jazz Musician Art Blakely "Music washes away the dust of everyday life"
Chattanooga Jazz FestivalWe'll just hang around and listen and visit. Nothing fancy.
Stay groovy, stay jazz
