Tennessee

Sorry everyone I’ve been very lazy in writing my blog, I have just been doing other stuff and slowly drifted off and off, and off til I forgot about it. Well, we are in Tennessee, enjoying all it has to offer. The first park we enjoyed in Tennessee was Cherokee landing. The place was a bit overgrown, but if they put a bit of work into it, then it can be something great. Nobody there except 5 or six people, but during the weeks it got up to 15 or so. There were a lot of trees, trees as far as the eye can see (well you couldn’t see that far for how tall the trees were). While staying at Cherokee Landing we went to some National Parks, like the Shiloh Battlefield and the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center. I liked both. Corinth is known as the crossroad city, and the reason why Corinth was so famous is because of its railroad junction. The junction was the nearest one, and was Corinth’s main line of food, supplies and other important things. The Shiloh battlefield was all about when the South (Confederates) left Corinth and went to fight the North (Union). Eventually the Union pushed backed the Confederates to Corinth where they started. I had fun enjoying those National Parks. It also rained when we were in Cherokee Landing, and I like to smell the outdoors after it rains. Wet grass, a little bit of wind against my body, what more could you ask for. I also went fishing in Cherokee Landing, but didn’t catch a thing. The water was clear so I could see about 3 dozen minnows come and devour my bait in 3 seconds, but I still had fun. We stayed in Cherokee landing for 12 days. Then, we drove to Natchez Trace where we are currently staying. It is a big park that has a couple of hills to go over in order to get to our site. There are a lot of permanent residents where there is a view of the lake. That was a bummer because I was hoping we could park in one of those. Natchez Trace is beautiful…a lot of birds, lizards, flowers, trees, water and people. It’s due to rain anytime, it’s very misty. We also visited Napier Mine, Meriwether Lewis Death & Burial site, Jackson Falls, an old tobacco farm and other places. My favorite was the tobacco farm because we drove two miles of the original route of the Natchez Trace. We are having a good time so far. I’m enjoying my days of traveling…Here is my first attempt at taking a selfie.IMG_2842
