October 7 through the 9th

We are now in Nashville, Tennessee, we are staying in a Corp. of Engineers park right on Old Hickory Lake. These campsites are the very best of camping, if you like beauty and lots of room.(picture) US Corp of Engineer parks are developed on government reservoirs and are run by the Corp.(we now look for the US Corp of Engineer Parks)
From here we went to see Andrew Jackson's house. And then we went to what is left of the home of Johny Cash. After he died, the family sold the home to Barry Gibbs of the Beegee's. He was having some painting and cleaning up done when it caught fire and burned to the ground. It was still awesome to see, as it is right on the lake with the most beautiful stone fence surrounding the grounds and there was the guard room by the gate still there. The property goes for over a block. You can see by the pool area and all the stone foundations and partial walls that is must have been a beautiful home.(pictures) People like us still drive by when there is no one there to look, so we can't imagine what it was like when they lived there. The town of Gallatin has a small town atmosphere about and is located about 10 miles from Nashville right on the lake.
