Actually this "should" read June 18th. That was Cathy's last (half-)day of the schoolteaching season. We had planned to leave later that afternoon. But the closing-out process turned out to be more complicated than she anticipated. So we put off the start of the trip until the next day. We had a lot of ground to cover as we knew we would already be missing the first night of Cathy's family reunion in Jackson, MS.
We spent most of the day on I-81, passing through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia passing into Tennessee. One of our early highlights, especially for Cathy, was a stop at Krystal, an old favorite of hers from road trips past that was near the VA/TN border.
After about 600 miles, we settled in for the night at a Comfort Inn in the Knoxville area. There was nothing particularly remarkable about this particular hotel. We did consider ourselves lucky to get a room on the ground floor just steps from the front desk.
