This was a treat. On a whim last night we went down to the riverwalk. It was pretty quiet. So we headed down the way further to the marina. I wasn’t sure what we would see since it was pretty dark out. We were on a second story deck overlooking the river and noticed an erratic fishing boat. It looked as if someone had dropped some nets in at least three different locations. The small fishing boat may have been snagged in it. And coming from around the bend was this light. I know it isn’t the best of photos but I think you can get a feel for it. Anyway
, it was pretty neat watching the tug with about 6 barges maneuver around the next bend before it goes under the railroad bridge.
Today, we headed West to Fort Donelson. This lizard, or skink maybe, was at the back gate to the Fort Donelson National Cemetery. We aren’t so into Confederate history, but Zach loves old cannons and I love the water.
This picture is from the Lower River Battery. I think there were about 8 cannons, but this was the view. (Be sure to read the “Did you know?” section at the bottom of that page.)
