Default Kentucky or Tennessee?

Well, on August 16th, bright and early in the a.m., we left Rhinelander and
headed south, ending the day in Eddyville Kentucky. We poked around the
area and it has potential.

I did locate two properties in Tennessee that my wife and I were interested
in, but after seeing them "in person," we found that pictures and
descriptions on the internet don't always show the whole picture. One place
had great potential, but the neighborhood was kind of a cross between a
trailer park and a junk yard! Coupled with the fact that there was no cell
phone reception nor any liklihood of getting a high speed internet
connection ruled out both properties as I can't go back to a dial-up
connection!

We spent some time with Joe from Secret Weapon and his lovely wife, enjoying
some grilled buffalo steaks and wonderful conversation. Thanks Joe for
letting us invade your home.

We continued along, heading east through Tennessee, checking out
communities, various lakes and talking with many different chamber of
commerces along the way. LOL, we found some places that have great
potential for locations to move to, we also found some places that were
down-right scary!

Central Kentucky also has some places that we're interested in checking out
in greater detail.

Regardless of whether we live in Kentucky or Tennessee, I HAVE to have some
decent bass fishing within a 20 minute drive, and when we were checking
things out, that was one of the criteria.

Now Janet and I have to wade through all of the information we've
accumulated during this seven day, 3,200 mile trip, figuring out where we're
likely to end up.

It was a fun trip, and even with Janet and I living in each other's back
pockets 24/7 for a week, amazingly, we're still talking to each other! :-)
