TN Jeep

[tndonor]

I have heard of a bridge that was left intact when Chilhowee Lake was formed. Then a yellow Jeep CJ5 on the bridge in 25-35 feet of water. Has anyone heard or seen the Jeep? Would make a great pic behind the wheel and a great ad for aftermarket companies selling snorkels and water fording equipment for 4x4s.

If not, anything interesting in East Tennessee?

Thanks all!

Doesn't sound very likely. http://www.landbigfish.com/fishingspots/showcase.cfm?ID=2773

Really. If it were a Jeep, it could totally drive out of that!

CJ 5's were built when Jeep was owned by AMC, which explains why that one would still be there.

If it is supposed to be on a sunken bridge and the water is only 7 feet deep I'd think it would be pretty easy to verify from the surface.

There is some misinformation from the link traker provided. It lists max depth at 7 feet. The lake is greater than 100 feet in spots. I am not sure of the average depth due to it being in a valley flooded for TVA/ALCOA plants. I tracked down someone who has dove the Jeep. As it warms up, Ill head down that way and see for myself, hopefully with pics to boot.
