Thanks, We'll be near the Shilo battlefield. Savannah is the Shelby Co. seat and they have a lot of places to sell Fig's pottery and weaving. Not to mention my metalwork. We might go with a 40' cargo can as temp housing and later studio when we get something built. I'm not loving the tent much (spent too much time in Saudi for that).

Thanks for the input.

Nope. Tents are a drag. We had our day of canvas tents and canvas pop-ups, and the moisture and cold (or hot) are rough on the joints. Just enjoy whatever you do. Of course, I love Tennessee because I’ve lived here pretty much all my life. People here are generally down to earth, and we live pretty cheap at any rate. (Be sure to factor in eating out once in a while as it is such a stress reliever even once a week at Subway OR one of the good fish restaurants in that area. We stayed at a place called “Bevis’s Boatel” near there several years ago and they served good fish at that time at least.

I was born in west TN, and was taken to Shiloh Park often as a child with my parents. My great, great, great grandfather (yes, a Reb) was a soldier in the Battle of Shiloh. Good on Fig’s pottery and weaving and your metalwork. - I think that eastern Tennessee is a bit cooler in places, but then the black bears are a consideration up there. - We’re further east a bit from where ya’ll will be. There are lots of things to do in Tennessee that don’t involve a movie theater or other fol de rol.

Sounds good, and enjoy whatever you do!

I think you meant Hardin County. Shelby is Memphis.
