We took some back roads this morning - US-41 from Raccoon Mountain to Murfreesboro, TN. What a beautiful ride. Twists and turns, over the mountains, through the woods, along and across the Tennessee River. We were very happy we took the ride, however, it did put us a little behind schedule. So, after lunch, we jumped on I-24 and headed west. The first major city we hit was Nashville. What a mess the traffic was, and on a Sunday afternoon. I will certainly avoid Nashville n the future. It did not help that the temperature on the Interstate was at least 10 degrees warmer than on US-41. After cutting across the southwest corner of Kentucky, we entered Illinois. After checking in at the Illinois welcome center, we decided to head for the Ferne Clyffe State Park near Goresville, IL, to camp for the night. We only managed to cover about 300 miles in the heat of the day and the campground was not much cooler. More tomorrow.
