Taking A Walk

by Dwayne Phillips

I suppose I should have written this post much earlier in the blog as it relates to what is where.

We are walking U.S. Route 11 from North to South, at least that is way it is in theory. In reality, Route 11 goes from the northeast to the southwest. Often, we have been walking from East to West instead of from North to South.

For example, look at Google maps at Greeneville, TN. Route 11 passes through Greeneville going directly East to West. When I wrote that we saw such and such on the “north” side of Greeneville, I meant as walking North to South we saw such and such before entering Greeneville. What I referred to on the north side of Greeneville was actually on the east side if you used a compass and a map.

So, for convention, when I wrote “north side of town” I meant the side of town we saw first while walking from Virginia to Louisiana. If I write that something is on the “geographic north” side of town, that means that it is really on the north side of town.

If you are not confused by this point, please write and let me know. I am confused.
