"Yesterday All My Troubles Seemed So 'Very Real…'"

You can hum along to the tune. Tuesday was a wash out. Totally. We hooked up in a light drizzle at 6:30 and drove in heavy rain about five hours when it just became light rain with occasional downpours. Our route up I-75 to I-64 to I-65 was fair with a lot of truck traffic, construction and some pretty poor surfaces. That was the good news of the trip. We got infested with ants at our JU stop, came in by the water line I think. Of course we did not know that until we had a few hundred guests everywhere. A stop at the Wal-mart for ant spray revealed that I did not have my wallet. Then a text from a gas station 94 miles away said they did. So grateful for the honesty and care of the folks at the Speedway in Shelbyville. Shout out to Sharon and Ben. Sharon was able to contact me because I keep a Two Lane Touring card in the wallet with my email. Think contact information may be useful. So we cut short our northern trek, found a camp site - expensive of course, and then drove back through Louisville at rush hour about 22 miles east of the town to retrieve the wallet and then back to the camp site where we had to clean up everything from the Ant Battlefield. Exhausting day with a residual headache, 12 hours of weather & difficult or at least very attentive driving, two hours short of our destination and just one that we will recall when travel seems so easy some days.

No ant photos so from yesterday the Blue Grass Band playing from the balcony at the Tennessee pre-moive entertainment. They were also in the movie for the party scene.
