Blue sky and a great day.  Said good-bye to Last Dance as they continue up the Tennessee River.

We have decided to stay another day to take advantage of the laundry and courtesy car offered by the marina.  We were scheduled for the car at 9 am, so off to Wal-Mart for some needed items.  When we returned, we took care of the laundry and then Lynda decided to explore on the bicycle.  Below are pictures of what she discovered.

Florence Harbor Marina.  m/v Erika Lin is at the dock on the right.

Park that is part of the marina, right at the mouth of the harbor

These teepees, right on the Tennessee River, can be rented for $7.00/night

A campground is on the opposite side of the harbor and right on the Tennessee River

Yesterday I had mentioned the old railroad bridge that is now a pedestrian walkway.  The walkway only goes part way across the river.  I discovered another portion of the abandoned railway on the harbor side of the river, covered with brambles and weeds.
