Tennessee River

Now we have entered a new state for us Tennessee and the terrain is changing as you can see by the high cliffs.  This is all new territory for Marilyn as she did not do this section of the trip in 1999.

We thought the barges would be smaller and fewer in number on the Tennessee, but you can see this one is still quite large.  This is 5 wide and 5 long.

Just as you go to the next bend, then the scenery changes again. Here are some huge stone walls along the river banks.








 
 
 
This is a interesting spot in the river.  It is at about mile 78 on the Tennessee River.  This was a railroad bridge that is now abandoned.   There is also one of the buildings from the town.  After the dam was built, then this town then was under water.
 

 
 

 
 
 
Here is another view of the bridge that can only take the train to the depths of the river. IE; the bridge to nowhere.








 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
This is another shot of the building which Erwin says is a warehouse depot on the river.  That would make sense as it is close to the railroad.  To me it looks like an old saloon that all of the locals would frequent.  You decide.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So now we are waiting on a cold front that is coming through.  We are at a marina called Pebble Isle Marina, it is located between the towns of Paris and Waverly, Tennessee and not too far from Camden.
