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.

Elizabethtown

Last year going south we saw many dead deer by the side of the road.  This trip we didn't see one at all until we were almost to Indianapolis.  Indiana also has the honor of providing the first yucky bathrooms - messy, beat up, with no warm water!

We found Indianapolos traffic to be really heavy.  The exits were confusing.  Thank goodness for Nuvi.

We ate lunch at Roadhouse USA - fish and chips.  Great chips!  Later we had the same kind of great chips at Mulligan's in Stuart.  Unique chips.

On Our Way South to Auburn, Indiana

We're packed and prepared (we hope) and out the door headed for Florida.  It was a really uneventful trip today, except for the traffic in G.R., I'm told - because I slept through it!

First overnight stop - Auburn, Indiana.  Auburn is the home of the Cord Duesenburg Museum, and host of the annual Classic Car Show and Festival.  Auburn is known as "The Home of the Classics".

Our motel was slightly down at heel.  For instance, the towels were a little dingy.  It reminded me of the motel in the U.P. where there was a sign that said "Do not use the towels to polish your snowmobile".  Maybe some folks have used the Auburn towels to polish their "classics".

We found eleven caches around Auburn - they're almost all micros, and many are of the lamp post variety!

These finds are dated the 29th, but they were found on the 28th:
