Woohoo! We crossed our wake!


We left Clifton, Tennessee, at 7:00 am.

They said it couldn't be done, but we did it!
Actually, I felt a few times that we could not do it, but we did.  We completed the Great Loop today.
We are proud.

It is hard to believe that our journey is finished.  We have traveled over 5000 miles on Aunt Aggie, made so many wonderful friends, seen new places, experienced weather ups and downs, and laughed together daily.

Today we went the final 56 miles to Grand Harbor at the top of the Tombigbee River.  We went through the Pickwick Lock.  Anne Murff went with us.  Phil had the day off and toured the area by car.

U.S. Grant stayed in this house during the Civil War. 
One day his breakfast was interrupted by a messenger, who told him the Battle of Shiloh had begun.


Martha and Anne in the Pickwick Lock.  We went up 55 feet.

As we walked to dinner at Freddy T's tonight, the sky was stunning.

Tomorrow I will write more about the end of our loop.  I have some fun numbers and observations to share. We will stay at Grand Harbor for two nights to do laundry and organize ourselves for the last few days on Aunt Aggie.
