Going down the Tennessee was absolutely beautiful. It was hard to decide which pictures to put in. There were miles and miles of woods and inlets, then miles of beautiful homes and I've put in a couple of those pictures too. 
The sun was setting as we were pulling into the harbor at Florence, TN
Here we spotted goats-both black and white coming down to the water. 
The decks on these homes were spectacular !
Bob likes to keep busy all the time...and the fly specks on the boat just bug him !
This lock was the biggest yet with a lift of 93 feet. First picture just before it began filling....second one just as the filling completed. The next three pictures show the front of the lock with the gate being lowered so that we could exit...
The very last picture is of our group of Mainship owners who were attending the AGLCA Fall Rendevous at Wheeler Park in Rogersville, AL. This meeting was one of 3 that are held throughout the year. There were over 250 attendees with some by boat (80 transient boats) and the others staying in the lodge or campgrounds. It was a great time visiting with other loopers Seminars were held covering the next segment of the loop--from here to the Gulf and around Florida to Charleston where the next Rendevous will be held in the Spring. 
Because Mainship boats were the most represented, we thought we should show our numbers ! On Saturday, October 20 we plan to leave here and begin our trip back on the Tennessee about 70 miles to the Tenn-Tom waterway. We figure we have about 800 miles to get to Burnt Store Marina so we should get there about mid-November if the weather stays good !
