Fifty-two more miles downriver today. The sun was out and it was a beautiful day to travel. We are seeing a bit more fall color than on our trip up the river, but we are definitely not at “peak color” here in Tennessee.
Since it is Day 100 of our trip, we thought it would be fun to give you some statistics for the trip so far. We have traveled 2005 miles, gone under 190 bridges and locked through 21 locks. We moved the boat 51 days and anchored out 14 times. We have purchased 974 gallons of fuel – which may seem like a lot, but we are actually experiencing better fuel economy than we did during our shakedown cruise last summer. We are having a great time and look forward to the next 300 (or so) days.
Miles: 52.1 Bridges: 3 Locks: 1
