I'm just south of you in Maryville. I live about 4 miles down 129 where it meets 411. I'm trying to gather more information and hopefully locate the store that Sam Houston's parents ran near my house. The historical monument is right along 129 but the key is finding the original road which probably followed the Indian trail probably.

My other project is seeing what might be above water in the town of Morgantown. The town was flooded in 1967 but I'm hoping some camp sites still are accessible ( without scuba gear). There should also be a camp site between Maryville and Morganton. All that is left of Morganton is the Cemetary that is up on the hill and still visible. There is a road called Morganton that runs into Maryville but I think it's not in its original foot print.

If you want to get together sometime I can show you the Morganton area. I'm having surgery on 16 Dec so that might hold me back till after Christmas.

Hey Mark, what part of Tennessee you located?
