Muscle Shoals AL

Hi All,

We are making slow but steady progress on the coach upgrades. The new carpet looks and feels wonderful. When we got here, Tiffin service techs inspected us for recall items. They found two problems that we will have fixed but it will take an extra week.

Today we drove to Muscle Shoals, AL. First stop was the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. The museum is not too big but certainly not for lack of Alabama music talent.

Hank Williams, Nat King Cole, Tammy Wynette, Jim Nabors, Alabama and in and on. Speaking of Alabama, this is their first tour bus!


How about this magnificent Wurlitzer juke box.

After a delicious lunch in Tuscumbia, we drove to the Tennessee Valley Authority Reservation, a conserved area of nature trails south of the Tennessee River near the Wilson Dam.

Great, well maintained trails

with hyacinth and columbine filling the air with sweet fragrance.

The first bridge across the river here was built in 1832. Storm damage, burned during the civil war, train wrecks and rebuilding with steel filled the history. When taken out of service in the 1990's the lower deck was rebuilt for pedestrians.
It was a nice day but we are humbled recounting our Muscle Shoals day while friends Carroll & Marilyn Johnson are blogging about their trip through Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. 

Love,
