Birdsong

Today we ventured further south on the Tennessee than we ever have and are in virgin territory! We both got a good night’s sleep and headed out early around the old grain elevator and south on the river. On the way we stopped at Harmon Boat Dock which is at the edge of the Harmon Creek Wildlife Mgmt Area and a short dirt road walk to the old Hall Valley Church. It’s only a shell now but such beautiful stonework. On the way to the church we also came across another ruin but I haven’t been able to determine what it was. I should mention there’s lots of islands on the way in to the boat ramp and a marked channel. Would be a good Anchorage. After leaving the ramp we headed south some more to Birdsong Marina. This is just beyond our turnaround last year at the petrochemical plant. This Marina has a freshwater pearl museum and farm. I’m going to visit the museum tomorrow. They also have three courtesy cars so we will use one to get groceries. Free laundry too!! There’s a bass tournament today and tomorrow. Oh and rain. So much rain 🌧️ !! 35 miles today.Les mer
