On the road again – headed toward Tennessee.

It was a beautiful day to travel through Kentucky horse country – enjoying coffee “with an attitude” from the motel restaurant.

Traveling across a river that was giving off morning fog.

We had a delicious breakfast at an interesting, small truck stop restaurant that advertised “Mamma’s Home Cooking” then turned our RAV4 toward Nashville.

At first we thought there was a vehicle fire, then as we got closer, noticed they were controlled road work fires.

Our goal for this part of our trip was the Antioch TA Travel Plaza on the outskirts of Nashville.

Cerwin had purchased several bottles of truck wash/polish to brighten up the truck stop side of this chapel.

I polished what I could reach from the ground while he cleaned the air conditioners and polished from a ladder.

It was rewarding to make a difference in the appearance of the chapel.

We knew there wouldn’t be any chaplain on duty during our visit, but we plan to visit with two of them on our way home.

Polishing the higher part of the chapel.

We were pleased that the dark part and lettering looked brighter after two hours.

Then we were on to Ashland City – northwest of Nashville – the real reason for this road trip.

But you will have to wait until tomorrow evening.
