Cuba Landing Marina, Tennessee to Clifton Marina, Tennessee

Today is Friday, October 18, 2013 and this is the first opportunity I've had to add an entry to the blog as we have wifi at this marina. We stopped the first night at Parris Landing after leaving Green Turtle Bay. These marinas are virtually out in the boondocks with nothing around but the scenery is beautiful as the leaves are beginning to change. Last night we stopped at Cuba Landing Marina and discovered that was the first day they reopened after the government closed down all national parks. They're located in a wildlife refuge center. Once again, nothing around but natural beauty. We were fogged in this morning and had to wait an additional hour before leaving because visibility was nil. After a very cold start the day turned out to be warm and beautiful. Tonight we're at Clifton Marina and at least there's a small restaurant and we enjoyed dinner with several other couples who have stopped here. Tomorrow we're headed to Grand Harbor Marina which is located near Shiloh Battlefield and I'd really like to go there but we're traveling with Bill Seward and I'm not sure he's interested in going as he's already been there. We should have a little more excitement tomorrow as we'll be going through a lock. So far the engine is running like a top and we've been enjoying the Tennessee River.
