The Adventure Begins

As I mentioned, (in part 1) we are heading to Wisconsin for a couple weeks of training before my husband, Larry, begins a new job in North Dakota. We have been in South Carolina for the past week with our son and his family and are now on our way.

The entire trip to Superior, WI will take us 3 days. We debated about making it in 2 days but, with so many miles in front of us, we thought it would be a better idea to take our time.

We left SC Friday morning and headed to North Carolina.

From there we crossed the Appalachain Mountains-just north of the Smokey Mountain National Park, and went through this tunnel.

I am not crazy about tunnels so I was glad to see the light at the other end.

Then we entered Tennessee.

Driving down the highway there are numerous signs saying, "Watch for falling rock". Since there is absolutely nothing you can do should a rock decide to come crashing your way, we were glad to see these fences at some of the more dangerous areas.

From Tennessee we crossed the Cumberland Mountains (actually we went through a tunnel) and entered Kentucky.

Kentucky is an absolutely beautiful state with rolling hills, and gorgeous grasses.

We drove across KY and spent the first night in Louisville.  The journey continues tomorrow.  Read about it here.
