Heading for Charelston next summer. We have as much time as we'd like to take, although two weeks usually leaves us anxious to get home (Central Illinois and, as sad as that sounds, that's still home.).
We'll be at Shiloh over the Father's Day weekend and, this year, we've determined to not spend 8 hours getting from here to there. Smaller bites, doncha know. So we're talking Olive Branch (MS), Shiloh, Nashville (wherein I will buy Larry a dinner if he doesn't bring his ants), Charleston and Savannah.
The normal progression might be to go to Mississippi first, but what if it's on the way home?
Keep in mind that this will not be a CW trip -- Dear One has less than a little interest. I'll get a bone or two if we pass close enough to a CW location of interest. She does that to humor me.
We'll probably have to pass through Knoxville, coming or going, and Ashville (Biltmore; here we come).
I do plan to look up Will Posey, diddyriddick and dvrmte somewhere in there and that might satisfy the small bites part of the roadwork.
But the objective is more than a few days in Charleston. It's the getting there and getting back in baby steps.
And, I might add, I do not like to veer off the path. I can do Nashvile to Shiloh, as that is where we're heading. I cannot do Shiloh to Nashville as that, on the way down, is retracing miles.
So how would you plan it? All suggestions will be printed out and filed.
