Our last stop on the Trace was the grave site of Meriwether Lewis who died on October 11, 1809. He was on his way to Washington DC and stopped for the night at Grinder's Stand, an inn along the Trace. Although by most accounts Lewis committed suicide, there are some suggestions that he was murdered. He was 35 at the time of his death. Pretty incedible he accomplished so much and had such a lasting impact on our history and nation.
John braved city traffic and parking in Nashville for birthday dinner. We counted guitar and after guitar slung on backs as we walked downtown. Music came from every doorway. Quite the sight and sound overload!
