Up, Up and Away...

It took a little longer than first planned but I am now on "The Big Trip". Departed GA around 3:40pm on Tuesday 6/3 with 5515 miles on the Tacoma. Let's see how many more I rack up this year. As I left it was thundering, threatening rain and about 82 degrees. The trees were green, everything I needed was on board, including the motorcycle and bicycle, and dinner would be waiting for me when I got to Kentucky.

Driving through Signal Mountain in TN was a great first experience. Even though it's not far away I'd never been there before and it is simply stunning. Not suprisingly, quite like the Nth GA mountains. I arrived in Scottsville at Frank & Deanna's around 8pm local time. They have a lovely home on the lake that's very peaceful and Deanna had prepared a wonderful meal of Pasta and Scallops to welcome me. The evening was easily spent with great food, great wine and great company - a hard beginning to beat for the trip.
