let me begin by first apologizing for the amount of purse you were going to be reading over the next couple days. This all started about a year ago, when I came home from the beach and my husband asked me if I wanted to go to Tennessee to see the solar eclipse. I'm always up for a road trip, so of course I said yes. Fast forward a year and here we are in the middle of Indiana on our way to Tennessee and North Carolina to see one amazing show in the sky. However it wouldn't be a family vacation without going and seeing something abandoned. So with Google Maps and some mapping and some rerouting and some Internet research, we found several items so that we are going to go see. The first item that we saw with the ghost ship that we saw in Kentucky. We actually thought I was in Cincinnati Ohio, however looking close at the map we realize that we needed to go to Kentucky. Actually very easy to get to and we ended up at the end of the road, we actually found that there were several people that were there doing the exact same thing that we were doing. The car on the side of the road and walked through the woods on a path and came to this tiny little stream that is a tributary. off the Ohio weather and they're just sitting in the middle of the stream is this large vessel. We did a little research on it, and found that this ship the USS Sachem has a very long history. It was built in the very early 1900s and was used as a leadership, then it was commissioned into both world wars, it became a sightseeing vessel off of New York City, then was re-purchased for private use and then it was actually used in a Madonna video and then take into this little tributary and left. And so it sits resting away, but it was Apsley beautiful. You could see the different colors of the payments that were it's cover over the many years. You could also see where are the different names have been obstructed and the new names as aged became visible. It was really fascinating. And what I thought was actually quite wonderful was the fact that I have very little graffiti on it. And you. I think because it was in this very shallow body of water that it would be really easy to get to, and I think it would've been however I just think that people actually respected this we didn't need to use some of the things we've seen and it was left as is. It was all this growth on the top of it which was really gorgeous and it was a great find. Now, we relax in our hotel room, find some Mexican food to eat, because that's what we do we are on vacation, and we will head out tomorrow for a day filled of fun and abandoned. Stay posted, and enjoy the pictures!
