It took about 50 minutes to pack up my camping gear –not too bad.

Looks like it’s going to be another hot day.
I need coffee and breakfast…

Once again I didn’t make my distance goal. Not sure if it matters (it doesn’t).
I was about to head onto another squiggly North Carolina highway and my light was fading. I was too tired and sore for unmarked curves in the dark (where I have to press a button on my GPS every few minutes [...]

I’m at a place called “Cedric’s” (N35.89143 W82.83286 E1375ft) about a kilometer from where I camped.
I slept great last night! Ten hours of rest has done me some good. I had a shower (with a bunch of quarter-sized spiders) this morning too and that was just super.

I am currently in David Crockett [...]

I’ve stopped at a restaurant in Lawrenceburg, TN called “A Taste of the Town” (N35.24156 W87.33273 E870ft). It’s a pretty big place, but I can see one calendar behind the cash register and there may be more. It looks like an all-American diner including a Wurlitzer jukebox in the corner (I’m not sure if it [...]
