Savannah, Tennessee – Day 2

The motorhome is parked at Moose Lodge #1918 in Savannah, Tennessee. We expect to move on later this morning.

Yesterday I drove the Bronco the about two miles to downtown Savannah. Our first stop of the day was at the Tennessee River Museum. You can read all about this museum by clicking their official website link…

The museum presents the river’s history from the beginning of time. Being a photographer, I particularly enjoyed the old black and white photos of the riverboats. Most museums simply show the photos…this museum actually tells you about the photograph you are viewing.

Here are some of the photos I took yesterday…

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

Battle of Shiloh artifact…

Crossing the street we headed for an art gallery. Savannah is a very clean and pleasant place…

The art gallery was closed, so we decided to cross the street again and check out the Hardin County Courthouse. It has a beautiful marble circular staircase. If you are a regular follower of my Blog, you know I love to photograph these things capturing patterns, forms, shapes, shadows, etc…

A pretty tapestry hangs in the Registrar of Deeds Office…

A Confederate Memorial outside of the courthouse…

Time for lunch. On the recommendation of several locals we walked a short distance down Main Street to the Hickory Pit…

Our waitress was an experienced and helpful Carline Guthrie who has worked there for 15 years…

She helped me to decide on the 1/2 smoked chicken and the fried potato skins covered with two cheeses and real bacon bits. Very tasty indeed…

The interior of the Hickory Pit…

With this large black and white mural…

Since we had learned so much about the Tennessee River, we decided to get a closer look and drove to the nearby Riverside Park. This first photo is of the bridge we crossed over with the motorhome on U.S. Highway 64. The river is currently very high at about flood stage and is expected to crest in the next couple of days flooding low-lying roads…

A 180 degree panorama shot…

Another delightful day. Other than the fact that it was, once again, too hot and humid as testified by this photo taken at 8:00 PM when it was still 83 degrees…with lots of humidity…

Enjoying interesting places and museums is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
