Day 1--Home to Nashville, Tn


Wow what a day!! We left E-town about 8:45 AM. The temperature was 48 degrees with light rain. I-65 to Louisville was packed with semi's as usual and between the rain and the spray they kicked up the visabiltiy was . poor. As we approached the JFK bridge over the Ohio we hit the mother of all potholes!! I saw it coming, but there wasn't anything I could do except drive right into what looked like a hole the size of a 5 gallon bucket. We bounced, and shuddered but Starship Avion stayed attached to the truck. The rain would alternate between heavy and just flat out pouring. We knew we were headed into rain but this was ridiculous.
North of Bowling Green the traffic stopped due to a wreck somewhere south of us. We sat there or crept along for almost and hour and a half. But that's why we installed Sirius. We could sit there and be entertained. Wrong! Betsy was listening to the Martha channel and the extra special guest was Lance Limpwrist who was the (get this!) Senior Color Stylist at some Foo-Foo
Salon in NYC. Betsy took pity on me and changed the channel finally, but only after blood started spurting from my eyeballs.
As we arrived in Nashville the skies started to clear and it almost stopped raining. We found our campground and got everything hooked up without incident. Betsy cooked a great meal. According to the weather forecast it's supposed to be warmer and clear tomorrow. jamie Hope springs eternal! maybe........sun tomorrow! Betsy

Sorry to hear the weather wasn't better for your big first day. I hope it improves for the rest of the trip!

I agree with Jeff. I wish the weather were better, but not a bad day to travel. Why is Tipper not in the picture?
