Whooping Crane

Grounded by Strong Tailwinds (+ 0 Miles ) December 4, 2008: Migration Day 49 What's this? Click on the photo to read Chris's GPS. Photo Chris Gullikson The good news: It's chilly and clear with wind out of the north. The bad news: At 13 mph on the ground and 25mph aloft, those tailwinds have too much muscle for the cranes and planes. It's day five on the ground in Marshall County, KY. On a brighter note, you can keep busy with today's journal questions! The public can view the cranes and planes upon departing Marshall County, KY for Carroll County, TN by meeting in front of the Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church on CR1264 (also known as Flat Road), which is off Hwy 402. Flat Road, or CR1264. is between Jackson School Road and Wilkins Road. MapQuest or GoogleMaps will help you to come up with driving directions from your home location. Remember: the weather rules.
