Whoever she is...yeah...we can stop and see her grave

Matt: Are you kidding me?

Me: No, I'm serious sweetie! If you want to stop there, we can.

Matt: No, are you serious about the "she"?

Me: Um, whose name did you say?

Matt: Meriwether Lewis

Me: OHHH! I thought you said Mary WEATHER Lewis. Sure we can stop at HIS grave.

Matt: Who is he?

Me: Um, he was very important in American history.

Matt: Yes, my love. Does Lewis and Clark ring a bell?

Me: Oh. Gotcha.

"The Trace" of the Natchez Trace Parkway - orginally a hunters/Indian walking path. Now a scenic drive from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi.

Meriwether Lewis grave site


Grinders Inn - where Lewis was staying the night he died. Some think his death was a murder, others think a suicide. Matt camps on the side of suicide. I believe in a conspiracy.

The Catfish Hotel: a nice restaurant; not a hotel. Man, I'm either sleep-deprived or I'm a little more air-headed than I thought I was.

Tennessee River

Believe me I was praying hard when these 3 decided to climb down the steps to the river. Scary, rickety, spooky steps!

So, we didn't get very far on our trek home. We begin today (Monday) at Shiloh National Military Park.
