Geocoding has finally been added! Now you can go to just about ANY town in the U.S. and get weather, gas prices, maps, satellite imagery, driving directions, GPS coordinates, and MORE.

More States and More Towns in our Directory!

Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina have been added to the directory, and are now available for our free listings!!

ALL city pages now show ALL towns within a 25 mile radius. Listings can now be added more accurately by the town.

There’s still a little visual fine tuning to give the site a little more ‘eye appeal’ but I’m very excited about the new additions!

If you haven’t seen TennTrips lately, you HAVEN’T SEEN TennTrips!

TennTrips weblog is a new idea here. Hopefully you’ll tell others about great places to visit, as well as the places to avoid.. Share stories about a great vacation, or just a short day trip that you think others would enjoy.

Please make sure you put your post in the correct state (categories below).

Helping out the ‘little guy’.  TennTrips offers FREE listings for tourism related businesses in the South.  Our free listings allows us to provide visitors with more information than the big sites.  I’ve always been the type to take the back roads when possible.  Small state highways are where you find the fun!  Growing up in the ’60s vacations didn’t include a lot of Interstate Highway travel (there weren’t many back then).  Every small town had some sort of attraction, even if it was just a diner with a giant statue of an astronaut outside.

While planning a trip a few years ago, I did several web searches trying to find things to do along the way.  All I could find were the ‘big guys’ in the major towns.  Slightly discouraged, I went on my trip and took the back roads anyway.

While on my trip, I found several small places that still existed that SHOULD have been listed somewhere.

Problem:
The ‘mom and pop’ places (usually the most interesting places to visit), are hardly ever found.  Advertising a business is expensive, and can make or break a small attraction.

Solution:
Let them advertise for FREE! Now, they have a way to get found, and visitors can plan a more FUN vacation!

I started a site (originally just for Tennessee) I called ‘Tennessee Backroads Travellers’ back in about 1997.  Started as a hobby, it wasn’t long before I found myself getting a ‘dot com’ and renaming it to TennTrips.   I entered every listing on each page by hand, learning as I went.

I’m still learning, and though I’ve made several changes, all my entries are STILL hand edited, and FREE.  I’m adding more states to include all of the GREAT SOUTH.

Not only do I have the ‘little guys’ but the ‘big guys’ can get listed too.  I provide weather information and hotel reservation services (had to pay the cost somehow).

If you’re looking for those quaint little stops along the way, or you have a place that visitors to your area would find interesting, stop by TennTrips!
