This fixed span railroad bridge crosses part of the Tenn-Tom Waterway known as The Divide Cut. It is a 25 mile long "ditch" that connects the Tennessee River to the Tombigbee River. More dirt was moved to build the Tenn-Tom than was moved to build the Panama Canal.
"The Dairy Queen" insisted on having an ice cream treat when we arrived at Grand Harbor Marina at Pickwick Lake, Tennessee!
We took advantage of the Grand Harbor's beautiful pool, overlooking Pickwick Lake. This is a favorite weekend resort for many folks who live & work in Memphis.
Since there were no "little" kids at the pool, The Captain decided to release his inner child!
We used the harbor's courtesy car to fullfill Eddy's long-time desire to visit the Shiloh National Military Park. What an amazing day! (Linda even loved it!)
These cannons were actually used during the battle at Shiloh, on April 6 & 7, 1862.
Standing on the "Sunken Road" leading to The Hornet's Nest. There were more than 23,700 casualties during these two days of fighting.
The Shiloh Church, which gave the battle its name, served as a command post for both the Union and Confederate armies.
We stopped to see Cooper Hollow Waterfall on our way up the Tennessee River to Florence, Alabama.
After arriving in Florence, we took an afternoon walk around the beautiful and historic campus of the University of North Alabama.
