    Has anyone been to the highway 11 yard sales from Bristol, TN to Meridan, MS (502 miles) the weekend after Mother's Day?

    My son and I have longed to travel on this yard sale. Alas though, I live in N. Calif and he lives in northern Oregon. They have shown some of it on HGTV and we just love to watch. One of these days, years or decades....dreaming out loud.

    We have a great yard sale called the Junk Jaunt in Central and north central Nebraska.It covers quite a few miles. It is in September, last weekend I believe. Google it and you will find information and a map. Might be closer for some of you.

    No, I have to keep I ears and eyes open for this one. Would love to find an old sewing machine.

    :P I have been to part of the yard sale. I even participated in it last year. My neighbor always has some really nice antiques.

    Been on the section from Cleveland, TN to Lenoir City, TN. The area around Sweetwater has a lot of antique dealers (or at least it has in the past).
