We closed up the boat at Aqua, left the keys with the service people and drove north to Shiloh. Yes, another Civil War battlefield and spent about 34 hours visiting the interpretation centre and driving around the battlefield. When we left Shiloh we started driving to Savannah, a small town on the Tennessee River that we passed when we were boating down the river. As we were driving down the river, we passed a sign for the Catfish Hotel. We had been told this was an excellent restaurant and institution which specializes in serving catfish. Since we had not had lunch we stopped and both of us had a catfish meal. Brenda has always had an aversion to eating catfish but she decided to try it. Needless to say, it is a very tasty fish.
We continued on to Savannah, and then on to Joe Wheeler Park. Brenda had booked a cabin about 12 miles from the Looper rendezvous. When we arrived to check in, she overheard a conversation with another guest that the cabins were not very good, so when her turn came, she asked if there were any cancellations at the hotel located directly on the marina. Fortunately there was a room that came available and she grabbed it. So now, instead of being 12 miles away from the rendezvous we are right on site. As we were driving in, we saw these two turkeys by the side of the road.
When we arrived and had settled in, we went down to look for a couple of our friends and a big party was going on.
Tomorrow, 4 of us are going to play a round of golf at at course that is part of the Robert Trent Jones Trail - I think it is called Muscle Shoals but I will find out tomorrow when we get there.
