Even though there was purportedly a great service department at Aqua Yachts, apparently everyone was sick or too busy and couldn't change our oil and other fluids for our maintenance milestone. Yet we had waited for two days for someone to show up. Although it wasn't an urgent problem, we probably would have made time to see or do something else had we known that waiting would have been in vain.

Finally, at the end of our last day we borrowed the marina's courtesy car for a couple of hours and visited the Shiloh National Park which is located on the left descending bank of the Tennessee River just north of the marina - a place we had unwittingly passed a couple of days prior. The park is a moving and well-documented tribute to the tens of thousands that died in the Battle of Shiloh, the massive ambush of Union soldiers by the Confederate Army and the immediate bloodbath thereafter as the two sides fought over 3 days. The Union was trying to cut off the Confederacy from access to the Mississippi River and sever their rail supply lines that ran through Corinth, Mississippi right down the road. The Union did win this skirmish in its drive to penetrate the South but at a terrible price. The battlefield/cemetery is huge and you can drive your vehicle around from site to site marking the stages of the battle.
