Leaving St Louis

We’re headed warmer. Through the Southern Illinois rolling deciduous forests. Across the great Ohio River into Kentucky with its tobacco fields going yellow, Past Ft Campbell. Past the Swine and Dine Barbeque Restaurant. To Tennessee with rivers winding through it. It doesn’t seem to matter where you are, or what direction you go in Tennessee; you cross the Cumberland River.

We’re in Montgomery Bell State Park outside Nashville for the night.

Elevation 385 feet.

6,800 trip miles.
