As we start our journey down the Tenn- Tom Waterway, the waterway was built to connect the Tennessee River with the Tombigbee River. There are 10 locks our last 10 of the trip, 234 miles long. At Demopolis, AL the Tenn- Tom will connect with the Tombigbee River, to the Mobile River, Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico to home. The rivers have not been the best part of this trip although every area has been beautiful and full off lifetime experiences.
