We\u2019re backed up to a cove on Bay Spring Lake. Which is on\/part of the\u00a0Tennessee\u2013Tombigbee Waterway (Tenn-Tom) and that allows you to go by boat from Kentucky Lake and points North down to Mobile Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico. Most boaters doing the Great Loop, circumnavigate the eastern 1\/2 of the US by boat, use the Tenn-Tom, \u00a0avoiding the busy Mississippi where it enters into the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>I heard a rather large splash a while ago, I\u2019m thinking maybe the Creature from the Black Lagoon may have found a new place to live.<\/p>\n<p>The drive was around 99 miles and had us driving through Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. We\u2019re now at an elevation of 389. We\u2019re just spending 1 night here, we had considered staying longer but this site is reserved for Tuesday night, we looked at just moving to another site and staying until Monday but all the sites over looking the water are reserved for the weekend, so we decided to just move on further south.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
