Today’s drive was a little shorter. We got on the road by 8:20. It was another great morning for weather. Our plan today is to go from Corbin, KY to Forsyth, GA. We are stopping in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area to visit some of the Civil War battlefield sites. Going through the rolling hills of Kentucky.

Welcome to Tennessee.

I dug up the photo from 2008, it was at a different Welcome Centre.

Hitting a little fog but nothing serious.

As you can see in the mirror it is Susan taking the pictures from the car.

Some of the many stands of Kudzu along the sides of the highways. It is a vine that is an invasive species, also known as “the vine that ate the south”.

One of the many fireworks stores along the highway.

There is no church near this giant cross, just a store that sells adult books, etc. According to our guidebook, a local Tennessean buys a small plot of land near such establishments and builds these giant crosses.

After exploring some of the Civil War Battlefields it was back on the road to our hotel in Forsyth, Georgia. We headed through Atlanta during rush hour, we were able to drive in the HOV lane through most of the city. The backup for us didn’t happen until the by-pass hooked up with the I-75 again, so we would have been stuck in it either way. The girls were taking pictures as we drove through Atlanta.
