Made it to Florida

First of all I want to apologize for some of the photos taken today.  My husband didn't wash the windows of the truck today, and I have some big bug guts on my window,soooo I have a big white spot in some of my pictures.  He tells me that he thought it would rain today..ya right...

The in our travels today there was  some beautiful scenery.  We were in the Cumberland Mountains and the weather was just right.  Not too hot nor too cold.

In the middle of nowhere, we came up this..a Golf course of all things.  I guess golf just isn't for the "City Folks"

 The roads were up and down, kind of like a rollercoster, but not as bad.  There was one area that we did have a seven per cent grade for three miles.  The run away truck lane was dirt that looked as if when a truck went into it it would sink up to the hubs in muddy clay stuff.  They even had a little bobcat standing by ..just in case.

 The people who live in the area take pride in their homes and yards.  This husband and wife caught my eye as we passed.  He wasn't letting anything stop him from spraying the weeds.  Someone to admire, for sure.

 As we traveled further on US 121 there were some signs that I couldn't pass up.  This one was in front of a trailer house along side of the road.  I didn't see the goat, but I am sure he/she was somewhere near by.

 It is amazing what you can do with a barn now days.  Too bad that there isn't room for a 18 wheeler to park, for we would have liked to stop and see what this was all about.

 I wasn't sure about this.  I think it was a house in progress, but then again I could be wrong.  Some people think that this is home and leave it at that.

 We finally turned off US 121 and traveled on US111 for a ways.  This was a very secnic ride..  I find the roads back here to be intresting.  They have a quality of their own.

 Then we came upon these guys.  They were getting paid to do what the other folks were doing for free.  I guess they got tired waiting for these guys to show up.  Not really, but it sounded good.

 We were in a lot of farm country.  Horses and cows abounded.  This silo was just a lucky shot and no bug guts, for I took it out the passanger window, which was down at the time.

 This is Cumberland valley.  I can see why they would want to fight to keep their land during the Civil War. 

 Ok, this place you do not want to visit.  We stopped in and the help was so rude that we didn't even want to stay and buy anything.  The girl behind the counter was on the phone and she couldn't put it down long enough to wait on us.  The grill was by appointment only, it seemed.  No wonder they parking lot was empty.

 Where they come up with some of the names they have for places, makes me wonder How they did.

 Just as we came into Soddy Dasiy, there is a lake, (this is what we call a pond) and I happened to see this father and his son's fishing.  This is Americana.

 As we go down the road we see just about everything.  Some days it is boring and others not so much.  This trucker has a sense of humor, for sure.

 Just as we left the state of Georgia, low and behold there was this great big peanut.  They are proud of their peanuts in the state of Georgia.

And as you can see the Confederate flag still flys in the South.  I find that there are a few that are still fighting the War and are proud to still be doing so.  Go figure.   Well it is time to call it a day and tomorrow we will deliver our load and then find out where we will be going next.  So, I will see you on the other side.
