I was sitting by the pool while Wendy had a swim. I was playing songs on Amazon Music and Sirius XM when a tune came on and an album cover flashed on my screen.

The scene looked somehow familiar. I was intrigued by the country southern look of a north east Tennessee junction in the road, like I'd been there before.
I looked up the intersection of the two highways and sure enough it was right on a route I took back from Gary and Ann's place several years ago. I can't, of course be sure I passed this same exact spot in the road, but when I looked at the 'Street View' there was no mistaking the location.

Prior to any European settlement, a few Cherokee hunted along the Clinch River. Longhunter Elisha Wallen (born 1732) and his brother Joseph Wallen (born 1734) explored the area in 1762. Later in 1787, Joseph obtained a 640-acre land grant from the state of North Carolina (#401) for his service in the Revolutionary War.
