After merely a few sprinkles in Kearney, and near Philadelphia on the festive day -- more than a little rain falls upon waking in Lexington.
So,
what else to do but
hit the road again as usual as possible,
southwest
to
Tennessee,
with
a welcome
Welcome Center
amidst
hillocks,
and
beyond
amongst the Alleghenies
to the junction of
40 West.
Pretty slow rainy / at-times-stormy going towards Knoxville,
south on
129
to
expatriate Californians
(no accounting for some choices)
Joan and her retired SF fireman husband Curt.
Nice conversations on the gotta-be-screened-in-because-of-all-the-bugs back porch and a
delicious home-cooked spaghetti dinner.
More chats mid-evening on what is the 66th day of summer out west, high up 2 to 91... an ABBA of 91-89-89-91 past 4 days...
