Day 1: The Road to Southhaven, MS

After packing up all of my stuff I kissed the wife and kids good bye and set out along this route. This led me along some of the country highways and back roads instead of the boring interstate. I was glad I did. Tennessee has some beautiful country and this was no exception.

Along the way I happened to come across Shiloh Memorial Military Park.
Its the site of the Shiloh Civil War battle and a National Cemetery.
I have wanted to see it for some time. In this beautiful area many men gave their lives. The only way I can describe the experience was solemn.

Here brave men lie.
