Rain, Rain Go Away


Sunday, Apr 15, 2007 from Carrollton, Georgia

Today was 400 miles of nothing but rain. I feel like I’m back in Washington. The last time I’ve seen a day of driving like this was when I drove from Spokane to Seattle, and today might even have that beat. It did not let up at any single spot over those 400 miles from Wilmore, KY to Carrollton, GA. But it’s quite peaceful to listen to now as I yawn and relax.

The day started as a relaxing day with a great breakfast at The Coffee Pub. I went with The Works omelet and had the best potatoes/hash browns of the trip, I’m not sure which category they would fit into. They were accompanied by an English muffin and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. It was a group of eight and a great way to start the day. Then the adventure begins. Carrie, Beth, Patrick and I arrive back at the apartment in the cold drizzling rain only to realize we are locked out. That’s a first for the trip! We would have to call a locksmith, and the only time he couldn’t open a lock was in 1964. So I was slowed down a couple hours to get my 400 mile drive started.

Unfortunately the rain kind of ruined the drive. Kentucky is beautiful! I hadn’t taken any photos of the scenery yet and was determined to today. However, the rain was much more than a sprinkle and didn’t allow for much. Kentucky is unique. The country surrounding Wilmore is on tiny curvy and rolling roads with no shoulders. I have never seen so much fencing in my life, of course horse stables are all over. What’s unique is that the fences are painted black. There are also stone walls that are recognized by the state as historical and were built by slaves. I was quite surprised by it all and could see myself finding a nice place in the Kentucky country side.

Of course after 400 miles I would see the terrain change and for the next few weeks I’ll wrap up my time in the South and try to get back on schedule.

I was just admiring the map of your trip and I think it look so cool right now. I remember looking at it when you were starting the trip and I imagined all these lines. Way to be man! way to be!
