Civil War Trails...


We were on the road very early this morning in teen terms (mid-morning to the rest of us, 10:30 am). Our first stop was at Nathan B Forrest State Park in Tennessee. Gen. Forrest was a famous Confederate Civil War general whom Jordan had written a paper on for his American History class. Very interesting stuff if you are a Civil War buff, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Bedford_Forrest

Interesting, when we pulled into the parking lot, the trip odometer read 9,000.0 km exactly!

From there, we were headed to St. Louis, Missouri. Much to our surprise, the trip took us through a bit of Kentucky and also Illinois, before we hit our hotel here on the outskirts. Since none of us have anything interesting to say, that's all for today!
