We had our picnic breakfast overlooking Reelfoot Lake this morning, then headed to Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. We met a nice young lady from Jackson, Mississippi. She is an intern at the refuge and is going to school at Mississippi State. She visited the Sandhill Crane Refuge last spring. What a small world!
We drove on the 3 mile auto tour seeing lots of Egrets and some other cool stuff before heading to the ferry.
We rode the Dorena-Hickman Riverboat Ferry from Kentucky to Missouri across the Mississippi River. These are the only 2 bordering states that do not have a connecting road. The ferry is the only direct route between these two states. A unique and fun experience.
We traveled in 4 different states today, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois. We drove 301 miles through the countryside and are resting up at the Red Roof Inn in Springfield, Illinois. After bellying up on some Popeyes Fried Chicken we took a stroll, enjoying a few blooms and critters across the road from the hotel.
