We took the LONGGGG road to Nashville today. Mom was navigating and told Dad where to turn, and it was the wrong way. By the time she got a GPS signal (no signal in the mountains) and figured out what happened, it was too late to turn around (and besides, Dad couldn't turn around on that skinny mountain road with the trailer). However, we did have a nice drive through the back woods of the Smoky Mountains. We lost about an hour of time, so when we crossed the line back into the Central Time Zone, we got that hour back (sort of). We were actually on the road for about 8 hours! Anyway, we finally made it to a place called Smyrna, TN, which is just east of Nashville, TN. We got here just before the storm hit, so Mom and Dad got the trailer all set up and then the sky opened up! Boy, it sure does rain out here. Mom and Dad went out to dinner and had to wait for a lul in the storm to get back to the truck!
We probably will be here for a week to see the sites and maybe Mom and Dad will go to a Grand Ole Opry show. We will see what happens.

For those of you following the map below, please be patient because Mom is really working on it - it takes a lot of time, and if she makes a mistake, she has to start all over again.......
