Western Tennessee

More Pictures from the recent vacation - 17-19Apr18.  Paris, TN, but mostly Ripley, TN.  59 pictures yielding 3 waymarking visits and 18 waymark posts.  There is a great antique shop just west on TN 209 from the Square.  Like an idiot, I was too busy shopping and not waymarking!

New Madrid, Missouri

Again, more pictures from my last day of vacation.  I knew there were going to be visits here, but I didn't think I would actually get enough variety of posted waymarks to get a Lucky 7 - those are always fun to post.  87 pictures taken with 6 waymark visits, and 34 waymarks posted.

Helena, Arkansas

What an excellent find and gem Helena, Arkansas, turned out to be!  This was the last day of our recent driving vacation along the Great River Road through the Mid-South.  I ended with 94 pictures, 7 waymark visits and 35 waymark posts.  The absolute highlight and gem would be the Confederate Cemetery and the gravesite of Patrick Cleburne.  I had NO idea General Cleburne was buried here, so it turned out to be a VERY unexpected and fortuitous find.
