The end of the Tenn Tom Waterway -

Here is a video taken as we motored toward Tom Bevill Lock at mile marker 307 which was just before all the problems with our anchorage Tuesday night.

The white cliffs of Alabama are interesting and as you will see just before entering the Bevill Lock is the Tom Bevill Visitor Center.  The US Snagboat Motgomery is kept here.  It was the last steam-powered sternwheeler to work the inland waterways of the south.  The Montgomery labored for nearly sex decades to keep seven of the South's major rivers navigable.  It was built in 1926 in Charleston, SC.  (same year my Dad was born).


Turkeys along the shore

A phone booth out in the middle of nowhere.


Freezing in the morning. It is about 39 degrees when we start out but by 1:00 it is in the lower to mid- 70's.
