1995 :) Waitsboro Crossing (park and campground on the Cumberland River) was where we picnic-ed and Lee's Ford was dinner with Jan Smith and Esther Lee, another place on the lake where we often went to eat. Yes, I usually diagram where everything is to be put when we move to make sure it will fit where I want it :)
