Franklin Cruise Corinth

... from behind the counter. The southern accent was so thick I had to ask her to repeat herself. As she stepped past the food line to the register I couldn’t stop my eyes from widening as her very pregnant belly presented itself from behind the glass. Has anyone else noticed that young pregnant girls only seem to gain weight in their belly and nowhere else? It makes it look even more abnormal ::shudder:: Just sayin'… I stopped at the gas ...

The venue itself was pretty nice, and we had a really fun crew. They were so efficient and good that we had our fastest load out to date.

Decatur, AL claims to be a "Grand City on a Charming Scale"... now, I don't really buy that, but I will say, I found it's alternative title "Home of Meow Mix" to be the most exciting aspect of the city. We passed the giant Meow Mix factory on the way out of town. Sadly, it left it's jingle of singing cats in my head for about 5 min.

The Tennessee River is absolutely beautiful, especially I imagine at this time of year. It is warm, sunny, no mosquitoes, and the autumn colors against the limestone cliffs are gorgeous.

On November 5,we anchored at Pickwick Landing State Park. It was time to resupply the boat with food and libations so we decided to explore the town of Pickwick, Tennessee. A good ...

... to be a round trip of almost 3 miles but I did get the cache and it was a very clever one and I felt good to have found it. I was really dragging by the time I got home. I had put the groceries in the backpack which did make it easier but still—I weighted them at home and the pack was 17 lbs! There is one more cache here in the opposite direction and I will try to get it when I recover from this trip! There are only the 2 caches here-a third one, in ...

... went over some pretty big bumps and before long I noticed a police car in the rear vision mirror, complete with flashing lights, pulling over I expected the worst, being stopped by a state trooper in the middle of nowhere, Mississippi - how bad could it get!!!! I was summoned to the rear of the RV to discover my new, one day old bike had been dragging on the road for some ...

Late in the afternoon of Sunday, July 1, 2007, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square arrived in Memphis, Tennessee, for the last stop on the Canada-Midwest Tour. It was the Choir’s first visit to Memphis, the largest city in Tennessee and the second most populous in the southeastern United States. The city sits on the banks of the Mississippi River in Shelby County in the southwestern corner of the state in a region ...

Aimed at Florence and Sheffield, where the Tennessee river is dammed. Ugly place with industrial wreckage and rough overtones. Didn't stop and pressed on to the Holiday Inn Express here. Very clean and orderly, with a tiny pool where Bren had another plough up and down. Discovered cruise control on the car today. Very helpful, but when everybody is set at the limit +5 mph it gets a bit frustrating. Being undertaken a bit worrying too.

With a little sleep in on Bri's Couch I got myself up at 9.00am and said goodbye to my friend and was on the road heading to Memphis, Tennesse home of Elvis Presley's Graceland. It was a pretty good drive which I didn't stop much of the way. It took 7 hours to do the 512 miles to Memphis arriving at 5.00pm then I had fun driving around with the GPS unit getting lost after and hour I found the Motel I was looking for cheap but in my price area. Check-in and dropped off my bags then went out ...

I'm in the Nashville public library. You should see this building. Lots of marble and big open spaces. It's very fancy. So Nashville. That means, for those of you following along at home, that I made it to Gulfport in one piece and retrieved my car which is in perfect working order. I'm really hung over. I've been composing lj messages in my head about my time in Gulfport for whenever I could find internet access, but I think it's going to wait. Too ...

... a historic corridor. In October 1995, over 2,500 motorcyclists converged in Waterloo to witness the unveiling of the first historic marker. The second Trail of Tears marker will be dedicated on Highway 72 in Jackson County as the ride passes by on Saturday. The goal for this year's ride is to have 4,000 motorcyclists gather in Waterloo. The ride is free, and all bikes are welcome along the way. If you don't ride, stand ...
