Western Tennessee

We left Branson and had an interesting drive across the top of the mountains from Branson to Memphis. Needless to say it was a long trip.

However, we are here in at Thousand Trails Preserve Cherokee Landing and have spent some time checking out the Civil War lore. We spent a day at the Shiloh National Military Park and another at the Corinth Interpretive Center. Both were fascinating. We also discovered from a visit to a local museum a vintage tamale shop, so we went there to pick up lunch. Amazing--a dozen skinny little hot tamales for $3 at this ancient tamale stand and the gal gave us the tamales free and said if we liked them we could come back. They were really good, the best Mitch had ever tasted. Next time we're here we'll go back!

This part of Tennessee is cotton country. We don't see this in Minnesota! Click on the picture for a close up.
