Tennessee mountains sunset from the hotel
Gordon, TN

Nice way to end the day -->








I was set back for hours with a truck accident which shut down the Interstate for hours in 96 degree heat. Hell. Found an underpass parked the bike and shut it off to keep it cool. Guy came by and offered me a Coke. Truckers stopped to talk to me. Ladies smiled and waved at me. Trooper came by and told me I couldn't stay there. You starting to see a pattern here?

Mighty Mississippi River. Not all of it just an arm.





After I crossed the Mississippi River I felt like I was close to home again. Felt like I could almost walk home if I had to now. Funny, after all the miles I've travelled.

Gordon, TN is a cool but tiny place. Had dinner at the Timberloft. They actually had satellite radio. Hallelujah. The bartender Andrea and this fellow I met at the bar Gordon from Kentucky, he farms and raises cattle there, were a pleasure to meet. I'd return here if I'm in the area again.

  3. Thanks Grant. I was most happy when I was on the road. It was back in May I did this trip and now in August I'm still high off it. Get yourself a hog my friend and get out there.
