I need to begin with a note
regarding the temperatures. Two days ago
after a storm went through the hot temperatures disappeared. Both Sunday & Monday mornings saw the
temperature in the lower 60’s. Actually
you wanted a little cover-up for the first hour then the temperature would
warmed up until it very comfortable the rest of the day. As I am writing this, it is 67 degrees. I am wearing a cover-up shirt. We could not have imagined this several days
ago!
Today we continued on the curvy back
roads of TN past more horse farms and more lovely homes and a few.….hills! Of course there were more and more
hills. Cal figured he was down in ‘granny
gear’ at least 20 times when climbing hills, but when he went downhill he was
up to 35mph and braking.
We passed a home that had lots and
lots of hybrid day lilies, in all colors.
It was lovely – (see photos), and we passed several lovely country
churches. In fact we stopped by a church
at noon. I made our lunch and we ate on
the steps of the church.

It was approximately 1:00 when the
thunder started so we knew we would be rained out. We were approximately 10 miles south of
Clarksville, TN when we loaded the bike, and drove into town to find a
motel. It has poured and poured rain the
rest of the afternoon. At about 7:00 pm
we found a break in the rain so we could run to a grocery store without getting
soaked. The storm is to be pass this
area by morning - We hope so.
