The picture above was taken in Wheeler Lake this morning on our way here.
We have
gone through these lakes - Barkley, Kentucky, Pickwick, Wilson and now
Wheeler. They are all like Lake Pepin only bigger and one is just as
beautiful as the next!
The pictures are from Shiloh National Military Park that we toured a couple days ago! What an amazing and awesome look back
into Civil War history! The picture at the left is the Shiloh Church,
where the battle of Shiloh got its name. The other picture is the
Minnesota battalion monument. We have to remind ourselves of the
significance of the Civil War in the history of America. At this battle
alone 2,300 men were killed and in total 23,000 in the civil war were
killed.
Ken talked yesterday about our anchorage. It was in Six Mile Creek at MM 266 and was woods on one side and
beautiful homes on the other like the one in the picture. These homes here are
amazing!
I titled this post a little fixing time. About a week into our Great Loop journey our
radio quit transmitting. Occasionally it transmits but we can not rely
on it. So.....we ordered a new one and had it shipped to Joe Wheeler.
Fortunately we have a hand held back up. It isn’t as simple as
unplugging one radio and plugging in the new one as the picture shows.
The holes you see are what once were gauges, the chart plotter, the
radio etc. Captain Ken is hard at work connecting black to blue, red to
brown or some color scheme such as that to get us back in solid
communication.
The picture at the right is for my
sister Jayne and our other RV friends. This is one of many RV parks on
the shores of these beautiful lakes. Better add this destination to
your bucket list.
Just saw that the Vikings lost but the
Gophers won! The Gophers played Miami of OH, Brian’s alma mater so the
victory is bitter sweet!
Thank you for the e-mails! We love hearing from friends and family at home! Looping along!
