It's time to head for Dallas! We've decided to take the route through Tennessee and Arkansas to get there.
We headed out from the Cherry Hill Campground into Virginia to the Skyline Drive in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The drive was a hilly workout for the See Ya but was a pretty road with great views all along the route. We drove the Drive for about thirty miles before we were forced off the road in our thirteen foot high motorhome by a 12 foot tunnel.
We spent a couple of nights near Johnson City, TN just over the border from Virginia. The weather was not very cooperative during our stay with a good deal of fog and light rain. That didn't keep Arnie and I from hiking up Buffalo Mountain just south of town for a good workout with some neat views

We are currently in Nashville and have had a good time here. Last night we headed down to 2nd Avenue, the hot nightspot of Nashville, for dinner and some Blues. We stopped at BB Kings Club and had some barbecue and Blues. The band was pretty good and the food was reasonably priced. After dinner we strolled a bit on the Avenue before heading back to the campground.
Today we took a tour of Nashville. I think the highlight of the trip was a stop at the Reimer Auditorium. The Auditorium sits across from a street filled with music shops and honky tonks. The most famous of the music shops is the Ernie Tubbs Record Shop.

The Reimer Auditorium was originally constructed as a home for a religious evangelist and later became the home for thirty years to the Grand Old Opry.

The tour also included a chance to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and a Honky Tonk Bar. The Hall of Fame is an impressive structure

We're heading to Memphis in the morning.
