Weather: low 35 degrees, high 79 degrees, clear skies
We had quite a contrast in temperatures today: more frost this morning, with the temperature almost reaching 80 degrees inn the afternoon. It was great!
We decided to go back to Pulaski to look around again today. Soon after getting there, Carolyn suggested we go on to the west about 20 miles to the town of Lawrenceburg, county seat of Lawrence County, Tennessee.
Lawrence was formed early in the 18th century. One of it's most famous early residents was Davy Crockett, legendary frontiersman, bear fighter, Indian fighter, politician, and a hero of the Alamo. Here's a statue dedicated to Davy, located in the center of the old part of town.
The center of town was the most attractive to us, with it's old store fronts and attractive landscaping. Here's a couple of pictures of what we saw.
Unfortunately, we didn't find an old courthouse, but did find plenty of fall color.
On our way home, we had to detour through Prospect, Tennessee, due to repairs taking place on the Elk River bridge on Alabama 76. Prospect is a little town that was settled over 200 years ago that you have to want to be going to in order to get there. It is far off the beaten path. At one time, there were several businesses there, but it is mostly small houses and farms now. They may be small, but the scenery is something else. Hills lit up in fall colors, little white houses on the hills, small creeks, narrow roads, farm fields with patterns of brown and green.....
Very nice to see. Here's two pictures of the fall colors in Prospect.
By the time we arrived back at home, it was past time for meditation. The rest of the day was spent resting up from a nice day of sightseeing in south central Tennessee.
More later, be safe.
