Day 3 of our Big Adventure

Thought we should probably let you know what we've been up to!
On our first day, Mother Nature decided to give us a challenge.  Winds were gusting to 40 miles an hour as we pulled out of Middlebury.  They were East/Winds, which added to the mix.  Rog did a great job holding on to our 1 ton dually and 36 foot Eagle Fifth wheel.  Once we arrived in Scottsburg it was 45 and sunny!  We enjoyed our evening and Rog admitted his arms were a little sore from "hanging on".  Tuesday morning we woke to a beautiful sunrise, (which I've included a picture of).
We arrived here in Goodlettsville, Tn around 2:30pm, got all hooked up and enjoyed an nice evening watching an old movie.  This morning we headed out to a company Rog had dealt with over the last 20 years, called ReMedPar, which happened to be only a few miles from our campground.  We took a tour of their facilty, which was quite interesting to me since I'd never seen alot of the inner mechanical workings of some of the radiological equipment Rog has worked on for 20+ years.  Then we headed south,,
Rog and I are not "big city" people, so we gazed at Nashville from Interstate 65 and chose to seek out some history in Franklin, TN.  We went to Carnton Plantation, rich in history from the Civil War.  This plantation played a vital part in the Battle of Franklin during 1864.  Where both Union and Confederate soldiers fought a battle.  The home was used as a Confederate hospital and the family actually estasblished a cemetary for the those men that lost their lives there, over 1400 men.  It was very interesting and you could almost hear the cannons on the hillsides. I've included some pictures from Carnton.

We did receive some disturbing news from our neighbor Rex, Tuesday night.  The warehouse that our pontoon boat was stored in, in Mishawaka, burned to the ground Monday night.  We lost our brand new boat...  We have insurance, so we will replace it, but still, we really liked that boat.  Thank heavens, no one was injured.  There were over 100 boats lost in that fire.

Tomorrow we are headed to Oak Mountain State Park just south of Birmingham, Alabama!
