Half-way There

The yellow push-pin in the middle of Tennessee is where we’re stopped tonight: As mentioned in yesterday’s post, tomorrow we’ll be meeting one of my museum people for lunch in Tullahoma, then going on to Acworth, GA where I’ve finally found an RV park within a reasonable distance from my son’s house in Marietta.
