Places I want to go.

I was an industrial mechanic/technician for a company in New Hampshire for a few years and during that time I flew all over this country, Mexico and Germany. I had a lot of fun as well as frustration just like any other job.
The reason I bring this up is a little place in Lynchburg, Tennessee. I am referring to the Jack Daniels distillery. While I was on a job somewhere in Tennessee I suddenly had some time to kill so I decided to go there and take the tour. On the map It didn't look very far but in practice it was a good three hours away. After the long drive I parked and walked up to the main entrance only to be greeted by a sign reading that the tour was cancelled that day due to problems in the building. I was not pleased. So I made the best of it and asked the locals where I could get some good BBQ.
There is one thing you must be warned about this part of the country, they like to talk. And if you ask about BBQ be sure you have some time because your gonna sit a spell and listen to people banter back and fourth about who has the best BBQ in town. And never, never suggest that you have had great BBQ outside their state. Them's fight'n words.
But really, they are great people and they do love there BBQ. I ended up going to this small hole in the wall a few miles away and had the best BBQ ever.
Anyway, I would like to go back to the Jack Daniels plant and take that stupid tour. So I have made that my first destination.
I plan to drive no more than five hours a day and about four hundred miles give or take. So the drive down to Lynchburg will take about four or five days.
The one thing I will have that I never did when I was driving trucks was the internet. It's available almost anywhere now and I can stay in touch and keep updated on traffic and get locations of the nearest rest stop. It's insane, I wish I had this back then.
The plan is to stay mostly at the rest stops along the way and stray once in a while to do something fun.
Now to plan the nest leg of the trip.
