Six or seven miles depending on which road a person would take to exit the mtn... You could go down the front of the mtn. 127 S to Signal Mtn Rd or go down the "W" road which would take you to Mtn Creek Road..
I would think Signal Mtn Blvd., Mtn Creek Road, Suck Creek Road area are considered the base of the Mtn..
If a person were to take 127 N that goes over the mtn you come off the mtn into Sequatchie valley located in Sequatchie County.. To me that would be considered north base of the mtn...JMHO
Thank you for reiterating, Emeralgem.
So now we are back to the ping/tower/satellite situation.
My very humble opinion: If Gail, her phone, and her Jeep (all together) went missing from the Signal, Mnt Creek, Suck Creek Rd route- then we need to be looking SW.
If pinging off 127N... then Sequatchie... then we need to be looking at the SVEC towers? I don't like the dead zone along Lewis Chapel. So 409/406 into the valley?
Errr... so frustrated.
Oh Gail, where are you?
