Reelfoot Lake - A Journey Through Time

[@lynnglidewell7367]

My family back to the late 1800s was Reelfoot inhabitants. I'm 70 here in 2023 and spent many a day on the Lake. We also had roots in nearby Hickman Kentucky just about 15 miles or so away. We generally were centered at the north end of the lake at Phillipy just a couple miles from the Kentucky/ Tennessee state line. I've lived in Huntsville Alabama since the late seventies. Still get back Reelfoot and Hickman every once in a while. Only about a four hour drive to Union City or Tiptonville depending which way you come in. Always good to get back home.

I WAS BORN AND RAISED THERE. IT WAS A PARADISE BACK THEN.

My grandparents grew up there. My grandpa has since died but they both had so many stories. My grandmas cousins the Hoggs have guided hunts and fishing outfits

Makes me homesick a bit. I miss the days of my youth fishing and just hanging out on Reelfoot.
