The Tennessee(and surrounding states)area is an area that I've never seen. I have always pictured it as big mountains,with lots of trees. I often wondered,if they have a Davy Crockett monument,or an attractiion for tourists. He is a hero in Texas. :P
Keep it up Steve! The writings are interesting. Even though,you have had some rough spots in your driving,you are seeing a lot of country. I told my wife that when we are older,and when we have kids,and they are grown,we should drive around the country. She said that it would be nice,after we retire.(I left the "husband and wife team" part out.) :P
