Cordell Hull was a famous Tennessee figure who was a lawyer and long-time politician. In this video, we visited his birthplace and I said lots of things (bad?) about lawyers and politicians. Sorry…not sorry! If you identify as either of these please skip this installment of the channel (or don’t and throw shade in the …

Our second TN state park where we couldn’t find the thing the park is named for!?! We eventually found the “standing stone”…IN ANOTHER TOWN?!? Tennessee summer heat was on full display while we were at Standing Stone which curtailed some of our plans. We visited another state park up the road (as planned) and took …

Okay Boomer! Netflix is shipping its last DVD today. I was a customer for 22 years. A top 10% customer evidently. I guess I’ll have to figure out this Internet thingy now to watch a movie?!? #dvd #netflix #boomer I’ve watched over 1,200 movies over the years. I write about them here:
We spent a decent amount of time and energy last year mowing the pastures (three times I think). I decided to take a different approach this year. The goal was 1) less work/time devoted to maintenance, 2) let some soil ‘build’ and 3) give natural habitat a chance to give some nature a home. I’m …

Gran got the whole family together for a staycation right down the road at Big East Fork Retreat (in Williamson County, TN). The house we stayed in was on a small-scale farm. We enjoyed the outdoors, games, the animals, good food, and nightly campfires. At some point, however, a 1,500-piece puzzle appeared and sent me …

We commuted into the far reaches of TN for a day of kayaking, hiking, and exploring a very nice Tennessee State Park. We barely saw anyone the entire day as we kayaked on the huge lake, explored the swampy Big Hill Pond, hiked a half-mile boardwalk into a swamp, and then up a tower overlooking …

We toured Shiloh National Military Park in Shiloh, TN. I’m a decently technical guy but the combination of a Federal government-produced (?!?) map/audio tour app and limited cell phone data access had us scrambling the entire 13-mile/22-stop tour (err 23 if you made the map not match the app…which they did do). Regardless, we learned …

We stayed at Pickwick Landing State Park (in Counce, TN) as our home base while visiting a few places nearby. We are not really set up as lake people in our travel rig. This is a lake town. Regardless, the massive dam did create the opportunity for a slew of dam jokes. The nice resort …

School’s Out Blitz! When Emily’s school let out we hit the road. The first stop was Mousetail Landing State Park (near almost nothing but maybe Linden, TN). We are hikers and the hiking in this part of the state is not the best but we were surprised with Mousetail. The trails were better than expected, …
