6-30-18 STL-KNOX

Wanted to be back in Perry by the 2nd---when the seller was moving out of the house (not really sure why the hurry, though, since we didn't even do a walk through with him).  We decided to leave on the 1st and spend the night at the kids' in Knoxville again.
Good bye St. Louis---again.

Mid America airport with 2 planes at it!!!!

Random Illinois scenery.

Rend Lake college in Southern Illinois.

a Great Blue Heron (or Great White Egret) hanging out at Rend Lake.

a face in the clouds.

on to farmlands

somewhere in Kentucky we took a detour to get around a traffic stoppage on the highway.  Our detour took us by this dam. 

Looking over to the highway traffic we were bypassing.

Back on 24 again.

One of the many huge crosses throughout the US.

The song played at our wedding 43 years ago for our first dance!  Where has the time gone!?

More barns

This time when we got to Nashville, we did take the bypass around it.  Not very scenic, but we've never hit a slow down on it.

The object of a lot of controversy these days.  Some sports figures have decided it's a good idea to kneel in protest when the National Anthem is playing.

On to 40.

Back to pretty skies.

LOVE when the skies are blue and there are a lot of interesting white clouds!

Getting into the mountains of East Tennessee.

Lots of barns are used as advertisements.  Wonder what this one was advertising?

Getting close!

Back at the kids/ house.  Tim playing with his "kids".

Even Clawdine likes to play.

IT was another uneventful travel day.  Made even better by getting to visit with the kids in the evening.  They even prepared a big bar b q for us.  Dinner and company was great!
