6-7-16 and 6-8-16 - Coon Dog Cemetery

                                                                   

                                       
                                                           The Beginning  (1st dog buried)


   We have been wanting to ride the motorcycle to Coon Dog Cemetery in Tuscumbia, Alabama for the last couple of years.  We decided to make this ride before we left the Rez.  The weather was a little less humid, and a little cooler, so we took off.

The road going to the cemetery is a windy. somewhat rough road.  About half way of the 10 mile stretch, Lauren almost went into the ditch to dodge a big ole rattlesnake.  I never thought about a rattlesnake encounter on a motorcycle.

The cemetery was a nice memorial to all the coon dogs buried there.  There were some unique tombstones and grave markings.

We ate dinner at the Rocking Chair restaurant and spent the night in the Cold Water Inn.  We headed to Red Bay Alabama and toured the Tiffin  Motor Home factory.  We took the back roads to French Camp and had a great BLT, (AKA Big Willie).  Then we motored down the Natchez Trace to the Rez.

Another check on the bucket list!!

You think we might be rednecks????

6-6-16 - Boatless

                                                                                        

    As much as we love boating, we decided we cannot take our boat on the road with us.  It was hard to part with this boat after 25 years of  so many happy memories of fishing and boat riding. This is one of many things that we must get rid of in order to follow our dream of full time RVing.  We hope that the young man that bought our boat has as much fun in our boat as we did. It is bittersweet, but we think it found a really good home. 

          We are a little bit closer to our pipe dream today of selling out and hitting the road!!!!!

BYE!!!!!
