I wasn't feeling well and Tom heard traffic during the night so we didn't get up till 7:30. 37 degrees.
We climbed quickly after leaving Asheville. Driving by the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. All the mountains are covered with trees with leaves that are changing colors, but they aren't bright or vibrant. Lots of pine trees mixed in.
The highway is congested with trucks. Some areas say they aren't allowed in the left lane, but they go anyway, and drive over the speed limit most of the time.
Into TN.-past Knoxville. Huge concrete cross at a Baptist church. Earlier today we saw probably the exact same one at another Baptist church. So much traffic. No color on leaves yet.
Near Chattanooga we went into a corner of GA. Very hilly and mountainous. TN, GA, and Ala. have all looked alike-trees lining both sides of the highway and nothing to see except when you go past a town, usually. Disappointing.
Passed Ft. Payne, where the music group, Alabama, is from. Sign says there is a fan club and museum there. We saw their new CD yesterday and only 3 of the 5 guys were on the cover. In Alabama it is 74 degrees-the warmest we've seen for about 3 weeks.
We've arrived in Bessemer, near Birmingham, for the night. There is an air museum and also a movie Tom wants to see, but he said he was ready to relax at the hotel and go to dinner.
