Brentwood is just south of Nashville, about 7 miles from the top of the Nachez Trace, which is tomorrow's journey. We decided while eating breakfast that we'd be better off not trying to make Chattanooga a stop on today's trip. It would've been too much, so instead, we traveled the rest of the Blue Ridge Parkway down to Cherokee, NC and then cut through the Great Smokey Mountain National Park to Gatlinburg, TN. We got great pictures, but we're afraid that you're all going to have to wait until tomorrow to see any. The truth is that we just got to the hotel at about 7:30 EST, which is later than we like to ride. We had to drive through a fairly heavy shower between Knoxville and Nashville, which put us behind schedule and really tired us out.
You can ride in the rain, but it slows you down. Luckily, we have good rain gear... We're pretty beat now and hope to get an early start, so if either of us get up really early we'll try to post some pics. Otherwise, hopefully we'll be in jackson, MS early enough to get them up tomorrow evening.
Today's miles traveled: 395.
