Wednesday, November 15, 2017 After Hot Springs we headed home. We made a few overnight stops along the way to keep from getting too tired, so that when we got home we’d have the energy to unpack the truck. One stop we made was in Nashville where I tried to schedule breakfast with my cousin….

In all, we walked 2.5…
