We had heard about it a few years ago. It was the yardsale to end all yard sales, stretching 450 miles across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, but we couldn't go without a way to bring home our treasures. Last January we purchased our little red truck, and this was the perfect year to throw ourselves into the fray. Sue began the planning, with a Bed and Breakfast stop each night. We'd try to cover about half the distance this year. Preparations were made and we located a camper top for the pickup. August second came and we went.
