My solid Saturday grub. |
On Saturday morning, my friend Jack Richards and I examined the
imposing earthen walls at Fort Granger on a bluff above the Harpeth River in Franklin, Tenn.; walked to the outskirts of town to check out the probable remains of a war-time wall along Columbia Pike, and ate some fine grub from the Moe Better BBQ and Fish food truck conveniently located in a parking lot along our route. Their motto -- "You don't need teeth to eat this meat" -- made us chuckle.
More to come soon on Jack's wall find -- it's along the Confederates' route of advance during the Battle of Franklin on Nov. 30, 1864.
Of course, no visit to Franklin is complete without a visit to the Federals' forward line position. Check out the video above. (Damn, those soldiers there must have been scared out of their minds.)
Steps registered on my Fitbit: 17,729. A good day.

Gotta love the slogan of these "grubmasters." |
