Couldn’t be more happy to have my Yankee RV winter jacket! Visitors center displays Union, Confederate and women equally in accounts of the first major battle of the Civil War. Well done. Dennis kept trying to compare his silhouette to Grant as he is a distant relative on his grandmother’s side. Maybe the nose. Our auto tour of the battlefield was like a scavenger hunt through history. 160 years ago a war took place. This battlefield covers three days of the worse and bloodiest battle of the Civil War that lasted 4 years. Interesting fact, General Albert Sidney Johnston, Confederate commander, led 4,400 men against U.S. Grant. He was the highest ranking officer killed in combat during the Civil War and remains the highest American officer ever killed in action. The terrain and amount of equipment they had to move through woods and swamps really seems an impossible task. Touring the sights, hearing the cannon go off and seeing the plaques of times and dates ...
All settled in Tiffin territory. A little chilly here today. Staying at 1st Class Glass waiting till Monday to have Tiffin people come and evaluate our to-do list. Went to lunch at Cole’s BBQ across the border in Mississippi. Small hole in the wall place on a tight corner. Great pulled por, fried green tomatoes and pickles. Picked up some supplies from the Ace hardware store inside a Piggily Wiggly. We are in northern Alabama for sure Visited the Allegro Club back in Red Bay and learned about some interesting spots to visit this weekend.
Well we started out this morning with a doctor’s appointment for Dennis then off we were to go. Oops, car has flat tire as I drive out of the driveway to hook up to Big Mona. Luckily we had recently purchased a big air compressor. We think it was the tire monitoring system letting air out at the car wash. Tire filled and we made it to Chattanooga, FL six hours later. Flat Creek Campground is very nice. Pull through site and don’t even need to uncouple the car. Early dinner, a good night’s sleep and on our way to Red Bay Alabama to get our roof repaired at the Tiffin factory. 👍 We did travel under God’s blessings as the bad weather passed by us before we entered north Florida warnings of severe weather, tornados and more.
