We left Monteagle, TN this morning, after a short visit with my mother and headed back to Lexington, Va. Our trip back took us from I 24, thru Chattanooga, then I 40 to I 81 north. The entire trip was bumper to bumper traffic. The majority of the vehicles were 18 wheelers. So where is the recession? I can not imagine what the truck traffic would be with a booming economy.
After two nights at Jim Oliver's Smokehouse Best Western we are happy to be back at the Lexington, VA Hampton Inn. The Smokehouse is always an experience. You never know what you will find under the covers...and every room smells like smoke. Guess that's how it got the name, Smokehouse. Duh.
It was nice to see upon our arrival back here that my motorcycle trailer was still in the parking lot and the bike still inside. We left it here so we wouldn't have to tow it 500 miles down and back to TN.
Friday I am looking forward to riding back up onto the Blue Ridge Parkway, while Elaine chills out in town. Since seeing the Timber Rattlesnake crossing the parkway I am now obsessed with going back up and finding one. MAN THAT WAS ONE FAT SNAKE. Here's what they look like...
So that's all for now, and if you don't hear from me again...I got bit.
