Day 9: Memphis to somewhere in Virginia

ALRIGHT EVERYONE! You all say that i'm obsessed with Geocaching, well you are right but...... You wont even believe what Ed did this morning. He got up at 6 am and drove to Mississippi ( I like spelling that word) just to get a cache in that state for our caching map. HE IS OBSESSED TOO! I guess thats a good thing we have something in common to do, now that both our children have left us.

Here is our Geo caching stats to date:
8 States
21 caches (Lauren is holding us back)
2 Earthcaches
23 caches total

9:30 this morning we were finally on the road headed for Nashville, TN. We stopped at a rest stop to use the restroom and of course to grab a cache. I asked the man inside what street we should get off at in Nashville to see the main drag. He pulled out a map and said "Baby cakes, this is where I want you to get off so you can see it all". Of course this was all in a thick southern drawl. I sure was tickled. Our waiter at lunch said, "this is easy as pie", after he took our order.

Nashville: OK Pops, I know that you really liked Nashville and were there for a couple of days but, it didn't do a thing for me. Its just an old, big, busy city. Oh, and hot and humid. The Ozarks were more my speed.

We had a couple hours of rain after lunch today. Boy, when it rains in Tennessee it really rains! Big, Huge raindrops and lots of it. It did push down the humidity though. YEAH. (and our car is cleaner)

I got lots of knitting done today. There was not a whole lot to see since the roads are all lined with 50 ft high trees. I have 6 inches complete on the first sock. Almost to the heel.

We are staying the night somewhere in virginia. Good night.
