Fri, Oct 23, 2020:  St. Louis to Murfreesboro, TN:  Left STL at 9:00 this morning.  I drove 2-1/2 hours to Paducah where we stopped for lunch.  It was in the 60s when we left STL.  It was 80 in Paducah.  But the front is looming out there.  We left Paducah at 12:30 with Mike driving and ran into a deluge around Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky.  Temps back into the 60s. By the time we got to Nashville it was 85.  Nice.  There’s a Civil War battlefield, Stones River, a few miles from here.  Really interesting.  We visited there a few years ago.  Tomorrow we have to go through Atlanta.

Stopped at this rest area in Tennessee.  After being in the truck for 3 hours we could hardly walk.  After walking around a bit we were okay.  A pretty day though.
