Kate and I walked through the village and we could hear the music of "the pickers" who were sitting on the porch of one of the homesteads. The smallest building in the village was Tom Cassidy's house. Tom was an old...

And than off to take a 2 mile walk. Since I have not taken any pictures today, thought I would take picture of the inside of the RV so everyone that has not seen where we will be spending our time for the next 4 months would be able to see that we have all the comforts of home. Tomorrow we will become tourists and do some site seeing.

We finally have a reliable internet connection so I will try and catch up from Saturday. It rained all day Saturday and everyone kept saying the conditions were right for a very bad storm. Well, they were right on the money. The tornadoes that were in Louisiana and Mississippi were very close to where we were last week and the tornado in Alabama was around 20 miles south of where we were Saturday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who lost their lives and also for the ones whose homes were destroyed. The...

Jul 6, 2008 - Up to Tennessee

Fox Inn Campground-Clinton, Tn. After a nice weekend visiting in the Atlanta area it was time to break camp this morning and head up the road to Tennessee.

We drove 235 miles to this park, which is just .3 miles off of I75. Traffic in Atlanta across I285 was good and once on I75 we stayed there. We stopped at the Tennessee welcome center and had lunch in the...
