We also got to go to a Bison and Elk ranch. It was one where you drove through at your own leisure. Again, it was a very hot day, so we didn't see a whole lot of activity. About a half dozen Bison and about 3 or 4 Elk. But one of the Bison was literally right beside the road. We had the window down and had a nice little conversation with the fellow! I don't think he was too impressed by us!
After a quick bite to eat at a GREAT Barbecue place in Paris, Tennessee, we headed back over to the LBL to visit Fort Donelson, a Civil War battlefield. Again, Nate was so excited about this! Here is a photo of Taylor in a reconstructed sleeping log cabin. There were originally over 300 of these, but after the capture, they were all burned to the ground.
And here is a shot of one of the many cannons they had on display. It was really a pretty awesome site. These cannons looked over the water and it's hard to believe that the Confederates actually surrendered. It would have appeared that they were heavily protected.
It was really a great day. The weather was beautiful and the places we visited were stunning. I wish I could share all of my photos with you, but let's just say between me, Nate and my sister, there were hundreds!
The following day we prepared to head home, and our journey continues!
God is Good!
