Day 12: Savannah, TN

houston: after a two day respite in fulton, ms wounded duck again has returned to the open road docking into savannah, tennessee tonight. day went pretty alright with ups and downs both literally and figuratively. managed to hit a chunk of the natchez trace trail where slaves traded at market were force marched into the interior and dispersed throughout to their respective plantations. it was a memorable stretch to say the least... the temps managed to cool down a bit from near record highs in mississippi to a degree of a warm and wet simmer. todays damage:
miles covered: 77
time atop the nag: 6:21
junkyard/barnyard dogs who came up on my six with the duck in their sights: lost count at 100 fortunately netting 0 kills and the duck managed to fly away to ride another day.
states put to bed in the rearview mirror: 1
hotel rooms draped in pink paint: 1 (just like ol times, houston)
tomorrow's stage looks to be another long-hot one so time for the duck to hit the rack, houston-
out.
