End of the trip

This will probably be our last day of sightseeing. We were up early and the first stop was Mt. Woodall, the highest point in Mississippi, 806 feet. It is located at the northeast corner of MS. It was a drive up point, so no hiking was necessary.
After breakfast we were on our way to Shiloh, a National Monument Park, in southwest Tennessee. At the Visitor’s center we watched a video describing the bloody battle that took place here during the Civil War.
The surrounding National Cemetery holds the remains of the union soldiers that lost their lives here.
The monument of Meriwether Lewis was our last stop. Lewis ended his own life, he bravely explored our west and he had such potential, it was a waste. We saw the Lewis and Clark Expedition at the Imax in St. Louis, last fall, now there was an adventure!
It was time to head for the interstate and put a wiggle on. Kel had a cold and wanted her “bed and blankee” at home. We made it as far as Cincinnati, and decided to just pull over in a Walmart parking lot and take a nap. It was enough for one day.

Are we there yet? YES! Well, we got home around noon. It was a memorable trip. We met some wonderful people, enjoyed some different and tasty foods, but most of all we experienced the joy of travel, seeing new sights and sharing fond memories.

We could use your help. We may show 20 of the best pictures on the Galley Photos of the TravelBlog. If any of our pictures caught your fancy, let us know and we will submit them. Thanks for sharing this experience with us!

We are getting ready for Hawaii in three weeks, so stay tuned.
