6-15-21 STL-KNOX


 On the road again.  I decided this would be a good time to stop and see Tim and FAith, too.  So I booked another 3 nights in a Homewood Suites in West Knoxville.  It was suppose to be a handicap accessible unit, but it was not well planned out for accessibility!  More on that later.  But for now---

Bye Bye St. Louis.  Will I ever see you again????

on to the Illinois farmlands.

It was another hot cloudless day in the Midwest.
S. Illinois---some trees!
My old town again---back when I was about 14.  Back into road construction.
good old I-57 never ending construction!
the truck on the left was holding back the cars.  I wish more truckers did that.  Still waited in traffic a long time, but didn't have people cutting in front of us all the time.

into the mid Tennessee mountains.
Another Grand Old Opera house---this one in Nashville.
on to I-40 and Eastern Tennessee
heading to the mountain.

 Made it to Knoxville in pretty good time---about 8 hours.  Checked in to the Homewood Suites.  Then Tim and FAith came over for a visit.  They even went and got Zaxby's Chicken over for dinner for us all.
