2008 Cross Country Car Trip - Thursday September 18th

(521 miles driven)
After discussing this trip for over a year and delaying departure, we decided to escape discussions of stock market, politics, hurricane Ike and gas availability and price. We backed out of the driveway at 7:34 am and headed down I64 west to I81/I75 south, stopping in Cleveland, TN. First hotel attempt was sold out but the second had availability. Seems there is a car show here this weekend. Hope this is not an omen. So far so good, the market is up today (yippee), plenty of gas and we paid from $3.79 to $3.49.

Our first lunch was at the Atkins Dinner.
