Long slow day on the Tennessee River. Landscape varied from tall, tall, majestic pines to flat scrub brush; high cliffs to little stilt houses on flat land; beautiful houses on high bluffs to trailers on banks that are washing out. Even saw some goats on an island. Erosion is a problem on the river. We saw a nice house (pic 1) sitting high on a clift with basically nothing under it but a brace. It may be there for one more season. It's a shame, but Mother Nature usually wins if she wants to reclaim her land. Did not pass a boat today and only two tows. The river is wide in this section and makes for a lazy day on the wheel. Passed a stop sign (pic 2) - the backside is right in the center on the bank. If you ran this stop sign, a ticket would be the least of your worries. Weather was mild, but windy. Want to get this blog out before I lose wifi connection again. Spent most of the day trying to upload yesterday's. Tomorrow we go through Pickwick lock, then we are in Pickwick Lake and then turn south onto the TennTom.
