Tennessee Dude & Guest Ranch

As we busily run from place to place, we may forget the lessons we can learn from nature and nature's creatures. But at one school and camp near Chattanooga, almost every lesson is taught with the help of beautiful surroundings, beautiful creatures and a belief in their creator. Rob Wilds visited the Tennessee Dude and Guest Ranch in Dunlap.
