Not trying to be gross, but please let me explain the title of this post.
About 2.3 km or 2 miles southeast of mile 383 near Knoxville is the 3 acre Bass Anthropolical Research Facility (BARF) or the Body Farm.
It is a highly secured area where corpses are placed in various situations (in the open, under leaves, in water etc.) and in different environments (burnt out cars, old trunks) and in the interest of forensic science, left to deteriorate.
It is used by various organizations (FBI, Interpol, police etc) to help determine how long a corpse might have been dead.
Sorry no photos, as you can't visit the "farm" and it is surrounded by razor wire fences.
If you wish further information on the process of how the farm is operated, it is portrayed in Patricia Cornwell best selling novel "The Body Farm"
Moving right along we crossed the Tennessee River
For you Patti and Steve we saw the green hornet being towed by a motorhome. Are you sure it is still in your driveway?
I apologize for the quality of the shot, but Bernie had the pedal to the medal.
The speed demon was soon stopped, as we hit a major traffic jam south of Atlanta, but luckily Bernie found a gospel music radio station that caught his fancy to keep me entertained??????
Scary to think, he even knew most of the words to the song "The Old Rugged Cross."
Clifford: Bernie tells me you know the words. I guess a duet is upcoming!
And the song continues...
Once passed the traffic jam, caused by a major accident, we sailed through to and arrived at our planned destination of Macon Georgia.
We had a lovely meal???? at the JL Barbecue, selected by Bernie.
We are anxiously looking forward to arriving at our Myakka destination tomorrow.
Long drive ahead but will be totally worth it.
Temperature forecast high for Port Charlotte tomorrow, 29 degrees celcius.(84.4 F)
YAHOO!!
