See Rock City

Despite Rock City’s aggressive advertising, I never would have known of it if I hadn’t read Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse.

I’ve been an apocalyptic fiction fan since reading The Girl Who Owned a City in 6th grade. Since then, I’ve read nearly every book and short story in the genre. I read Go-Go Girls a couple of years ago and assumed that the final battle, set in Rock City, took place in a fictional place. The incline railway, the gnomes, and the mountaintop gardens seemed too surreal. Once I learned that it was surreal and real, I had to visit.

And rock city:



We also went to Ruby Falls, but cave pictures don’t turn out so well.
