Our first day driving was mostly uneventful. We were already tired from the utter lack of sleep for weeks. Apart from a few safety checks of the cargo (specifically that damn bike rack), our ride went smoothly starting out with a light drizzle and ending with a lovely sunset. We drove from Richmond to Memphis and made pretty good time, arriving just after sunset. A few notable cities, uh well, there was Nashville. And Lebanon, TN, the Cracker Barrel capital of the world. Otherwise it was just a nice drive through the mountains. There are less pictures from our first day than from the rest of the trip, but these few pretty much capture it. A quiet day.

Western Virginia mountains are very foggy.
Definitely said that out loud once and followed it with, "No, thoggy." Oh Drew... |
 |
| Very lush, fertile land, with no one for miles. |
 |
| Where the low clouds meet the mountains. On the west coast, the mountains tour over the clouds. |

Yes, pup had the right idea.
We all took turns having naps in the passenger seat. |
 |
| Followed by snacks. My mommy had bought us candy and Cheerwine for the road. Much appreciated. |
 |
| Yay! We're welcomed! |
 |
| The first of many pup stops. |
 |
| Yes! Tennessee! A functioning guitar building. |
 |
| Persie was a parrot for most of the ride. A sleepy parrot. |
 |
| Long roads ahead. |
 |
| Fancy shmancy GPS with 3D mountains and buildings. Loved knowing our elevation at all times. |
 |
| NUTRO! Tennessee does factories. |
 |
Official Cracker Barrel. We always thought they'd be there. But we drove past
our last one right before the California border in Arizona. Fun fact: there are no
Cracker Barrels in California, Oregon, or Washington. Where will I go for my pie?! |
 |
| Sun setting. |
 |
| Yes, that's right. Largest in the world. |
