October 22 - Iuka, MS

Another warm and sunny day. This morning we took care of some chores - laundry and shopping. I had arranged for the use of the marina courtesy van for an afternoon trip to Shiloh National Cemetery, located on the banks of the Tennessee, just 30 miles northwest from our marina. Since we had a good size van, we invited the Ron and Karlene Redders and Mark and Terri Wey from Goderich, Ontario to join us. After seeing a film in the Welcome Center, we explored the battlefield. The two day Battle at Shiloh in April 1862 was very costly - 23,746 casualties.
