03/13/14 Latrobe to Nashville - The 1st of 3 long driving days

The next 3 days are going to be very long driving days broken up by a little geocaching. The goal is to get to Parker Arizona by noon on Sunday for a special event . . . more about that on Sunday.
This morning we awoke to a fresh dusting of snow and a temperature of 11. This meant that the doors and windows of the van were frozen shut since yesterday was so rainy. I had also left my camera in the van and the batteries were so cold I had to warm them to get them to work. . . so we don't have any leaving pics from "The Ridge" but Betty took us out to the Youngstown Grill for a fabulous Bon Voyage breakfast.

Yummy Breakfast!

Trixie is ready to go

And we're off again  . . . westward ho

               From PA to a little piece of West Virginia

Then on to Ohio . . . where we saw Paul Brown Stadium the home of the Cincinnati Bengals. One does not take a picture of the rival teams home



Then Kentucky where we noticed the temps had gotten above freezing.




and finally . . . .

 Tennessee . . .really that is what the sign says but it was dark and the shutter of the camera stayed open to long.

This is what the Tennessee sign should have looked like . . . I stole this picture from our 2012 trip (Thanks Betty)


After 628 miles and 13 geocaches we arrived at our hotel in Dickson TN about 8:45. Happy to be out of the car and ready to relax and mentally prepare for another day on the road.
