9:30a-12:45p; 165 miles
After three days of driving over narrow roads with many turns, it felt good to hit the interstate, set the cruise control at 70 mph, and relax with my legs stretched out. A muscle in the right side of my back was getting sore from having my right hand constantly on the throttle, so being able to use the cruise control let me rest my arm a bit.
About halfway to Nashville it stated to rain. I checked the forecast before leaving, so I put on my rain gear when I started out. I stayed fairly dry - except for my feet. My boots are not waterproof and I did not have boot covers. When I stopped for fuel, I poured about 1/4 cup of water out of each boot. My feet were swimming!! About 30 miles before Nashville the rain stopped.I arrived in Nashville shortly after noon (EDT) and went directly to the Goldwing Wing Ding at the Opryland Hotel. I had
a quick lunch in the hotel (yes, the picture is inside the hotel!!) and spent a couple hours in the exhibit area.
After checking into my hotel (not Opryland!!), I went to Christina's apartment where I had a good visit and dinner with Christina. Kimberly was in PA with her grandparents.This post is a day late because the internet connection was not working at my hotel.
