Day 2 Murfreesboro TN - 532 miles

So this morning we left I80 truck stop. The snow I mentioned - it arrived. We left at 8:30 so it was light. It was really windy, snow showers, a couple inches of new snow. The first 2 hour were not a lot of fun but a good speed was maintained. We stopped at a Cracker Barrel for lunch at Effingham IL always like eating there. As we do not look real close as to where we are going, it turns out we are eating where Mid America Corvettes home is. We had stopped there probably 8 to 10 years ago. Seeing it was close we went back to it. It is 5 miles north from where we ate. I would put pixs up but to tired. I picked up a Corvette Racing hat, always wanted one but hated to spend postage, turns out it doesn't matter. They discount the magazine price to make up the postage so it was an even push. As we left Illinois on Hiway 24 the side of the highway was littered with broken tree tops, if there were ten thousand there were ten times that. Then as we entered Kentucky and the tree tops broken, when I say tree tops, that could mean up to a foot in diameter. The ills of Kentucky are fun to drive thru but the temp is about 36 and the snow flurries start coming. They continued to 10 miles north of Nashville, then rained all the way to the hotel. We ate at the Outback, been a couple years since the last time. Shirleen had a fillet with a great sweet potato with fresh sauteed green beans with a cab wine. I had a fettuccine Alfredo with scallops with an extra order of scallops on top. They were really tasty, would order them again. The guy down the bar, as we ate at the bar so we would not have to wait 30 to 45 minutes, had an order of these - I order same. Turned out his name was Jerry, was stationed in Hawaii from 66 to 70 a little overlap. We visited with Susan and him, they left south of Jacksonville and ran 8.5 hours to here. They were from Layette IN he was into entertainment. Tomorrow we head for St. Augustine. Jerry
