Surprise this morning-fog! And pretty thick! We were up and ready to roll so we took off 6:30 am starting on the interstate. Just get behind a truck and just follow him!

An hour later I exit to gas up and the morning fog had mostly burned off, so we said goodbye to the freeway and we were back to the back roads. While gassing up, people usually chat with you. I was asked if we got caught up with the storm yesterday and the gentlemen was telling me it was a big storm at his house, telling his family to relocate to a shelter. The roads we took were farm roads taking us on a journey through Arkansas. Some great roads, and freshy paved with new asphalt. Plenty of trees, curves in the road, and straights too. And also plenty of evidence of the strength of the storm as I saw plenty of uprooted trees today. The roads kept us busy.

Then we came to the Mississippi River, which meant a large bridge crossing and also a time for me to put a helmet back on. I have been enjoying my freedom ever since the later part of the first day of this trip but day 6 marked helmet country for the next several days… boo.

Mississippi was a pleasant surprise. Again we were on the back roads and the ones we were on were like a roller coaster tide. Great road along wooded area, with sweepers and rolling ups and downs and cruising at 65 mph for the most part. Some of the homes along our route were beautiful and looked fairly new too. Again, talking with a local while gassing up and here too a bad storm last night.

The next thing we know we are in Tennessee cruising again on some beautiful roads, We gas up one last time and even here in Tennessee the evidence was storm damage from a storm, The locals confirmed it as they told us tales of the storm last night – that sure was a big cloud mass. Today’s weather was sunny all day with no clouds, highs for the most part were 85-88 most of the time till we pulled in at the end, and it was 90.
