World's Longest Yard Sale

The World's Longest Yard Sale runs from Michigan to Gadsden, Alabama in August. At the last minute my Hubby and I decided to take a couple of days and see how far we could get. Since I had done this once before with a girlfriend I knew there was a little town, Mentone, that is a good rest stop. We made some reservations at 2 different Bed and Breakfast since things were booked up at this late date!

We drove up Wednesday night to stay at the Mentone Springs Hotel. It was built in the 1880's.

We had a small room with a fireplace and a shared bathroom- which turned out OK since we only had to share it with one other couple. We had a huge breakfast (steak, grits, eggs, biscuits) on the wrap around porch.

We headed up to Lookout Mountain, but the yard sales were few and far between.

It picked up a little after Chattanooga but rain and getting lost wore us out. We decided to turn back to Mentone where we were spending the night at Crystal Lake Lodge.

We were so tired that we fell asleep before dark and slept to the sun was up in the morning!

Our room was the "Forest Room"- it was huge. The bathroom was so cute. It had an outhouse and a waterfall shower.

It was like being at Disney World!

Breakfast was wonderful- pancakes, bacon, coffee cake, fresh fruit grown on the farm. We will be going back- there was a lot to see- llamas, a fishing pond, trails- but we were off on the treasure hunt-

This is going to keep us busy on ebay and etsy for a while!!!!
