Bonnie Dog and I left out of Orlando very early Saturday morning and as we took our first potty break, this was the sunrise we saw on the Turnpike. This is the first of some really spectacular sunrises and sunsets I have seen since leaving.
Most of the drive actually centers around keeping Bonnie "watered" at the various rest stops we stop at as we travel through Georgia and Tennessee the first day. She LOVES seeing other dogs, but, she gets a little too psycho to handle at some of these stops, so, we tend to stop at the far end of the rest stop and walk a LONG way away from other dogs.
There are parts of the drive that I just love--one of them being the railroad trestle bridge above. One of the many trips Rod and I have made through here, we saw a long train passing above us. Then there is this part of Lake Barkley in Kentucky, where we always see the fog rising from the many waterways and lakes that lie in the region.
This was the sunrise somewhere north of Nashville--maybe about Clarksville-- after we stopped for gas ($3.55 a gallon) and watering. The night at the hotel was alright inspite of being in the flight path of Atlanta International. I don't remember hearing much after 10pm.
Most of the trip the second day is through Illinois with its farms and fields. It is beautiful, but, by the time you get to Bloomington...it is getting a little old. We made it to Rockford ahead of schedule and actually unloaded the soap stuff into the warehouse by 3pm. Whew...thankfully I won't have to drive for a while now...I hope!
