Tuesday we drove over to the Crossville, TN area to visit Kathy's brother and his family. The TN place we used to own was abutted theirs. Wednesday we returned to Iuka. It about a 250 mile, 5 hour drive. We drove the Flex and left the coach with the guys at Lakeshore so they could continue working on a few items.
About 20 miles of the drive in in Mississippi and then across the top of Alabama before turning north up into Tennessee, near Chatanooga.
Lots of dollars of cotton along the way. Each bale is worth around $400.
Crossing the Tennessee River near Decatur, AL.
Below is a Google shot of the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center. It would be an interesting place to visit again. We were there with our boys around 47 years ago.
About 50 miles of the Tennessee portion of the drive is up a valley, ridge on both sides that sticks up about a 1,000' above the valley floor.
The white buildings along the ridge are luxury vacation homes. They rent for $750+ per night. You can read about them at boltfarmtreehouse.com
There was some snow at Tom & Mary Lou's. The past few days have been exceptionally cold. Average temps this time of year are 50/34. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 31 and the low 16.
I took this photo out their living room window. They have 160 acres. The lake is about 6 acres and 35' deep.
Kathy, her nephew Dean, her brother Tom and sister-in-law Mary Lou.
One of Tom and Mary Lou's grandsons, Joe. He lives in Atlanta. He came up Tuesday night, went out hunting this morning, shot a deer and was back in time for breakfast.
A goodbye photo.
On the way home we had a great lunch at a Western Sizzler in Jasper, TN.
You get to see interesting things while driving.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
