Grand Harbor Marina

We have been here in the marina for a couple of days yesterday we did chores on the boat and today we used the courtesy car to go to Savannah, TN for some shopping. We had lunch at the Hickory Pit a great BarBQ place in Savannah. We were able to visit the battlefield and museum at Shiloh. We watched a really informative movie showing why and how the battle was fought. The Union had taken two of the Confederate forts in Kentucky and the Confederate Armies pulled back to Corinth to protect the railroad system that linked the Mississippi River with the Atlantic coast. General Grant and Sherman brought their armies down the Tennessee River at Pittsburg Landing. The set up camp and waited for General Buell to arrive with his troops before they attacked Corinth. General Johnston of the Confederacy learned of the plan and marched north from Corinth toward Pittsburg Landing to intercept the attack before Buell arrived, by the end of two days of fighting 110,000 soldiers were involved and over 23,000 were killed, wounded or missing. 

We returned to the marina in time for docktails with the other Loopers here, tomorrow will be a travel day for many of us. 

Lunch Stop, BarBQ Plate with Hot Sauce, yum!
