Tenn-Tom to Columbus MS

Whitten Lock was the first lock on the Tenn-Tom. This was the largest drop of 85 feet on this waterway system.
About 6 weeks ago there was a crude oil spill from a tanker in the lock.
It has been cleaned up, but a few little oily pockets in the concrete so we covered our fenders with some $1 tee shirts we found at Dollar General.

Oily fender cover after the lock.

At Midway marina we had to wait an hour in the morning for the fog to clear for traveling down the river.

Angie found a new coffee holder while locking on the Tenn-Tom.
We have 12 locks to get to Mobile AL.

We passed three locations where Scotts Lawn is grinding wood chips and bark to make mulch.
Mostly with Vermeer Grinders.

The Tenn-Tom goes into the state of Mississippi for part of the trip.
This Antebellum style home is in Columbus MS.
We stayed in Columbus for a few days, partly due to rain.

Beautiful day traveling on the Tenn-Tom Waterway.
