Dalton

After we crossed the Tennessee State line, and before we got to Nashville, we went past a horrible crash on the southbound side.  We were in stop-and-go traffic bumper to bumper traffic for 3.2 miles.
There were signs alongside saying "Emergency Scene Ahead".  That's a first for us (thank goodness).

Two semi-trucks had crashed through the guardrail - just sheared that guardrail completely off - and rolled down an embankment.  There were four huge wreckers waiting to do their thing.  There were two heavy equipment vehicles with cranes to do the preliminary lifting.  Many police cars and ambulances - and all of these emergency vehicles had their lights flashig and blinking - it was quite a sight.

Fortunately, thinks were very quiet and smooth after that.  We had good weather, moderate traffic, and a short travel day.  That was enough stress for one day, anyway!

Lunch at Shoney's, dinner at O'Charley's.
