After leaving Chicago, IL on September 9th, we have reached the end of the inland waterways, arriving in Mobile, AL on November 15th. The side trips to Nashville and Chattanooga were by far the highlights, and of course my side trip to Maui was incredible (but I guess I can’t count that for being on

Although the fall foliage on the rivers is colorful, traveling down the rivers is pretty boring. To add some excitement, we started our trip down the Tennessee-Tombigbee (Tenn-Tom) waterway in early morning fog. We hoped for a sunrise start to reach our next destination in daylight, as the sunlight hours now are much shorter. We also
