Today was described as one of our epic driving days, where we have covered around 375 miles as we head South-West into what is commonly known as the Bible Belt.
I woke feeling pretty good after a considerably better night's sleep (no gunfire), packed chaotically and helped take our tent down.
We were on the road not long after 7:30am and began the long journey out of Maryland, through Virginia and into Tennessee.
The vast majority of the day was on the road, with only a brief lunch stop and shopping expedition to buy group food supplies on the way.
Rain Check
The only minor disappointment of the day was that the planned trip to a Minor League Baseball game at the Bristol Sox. We had arrived at camp, pitched tents at full speed, headed to the Baseball field only to find that it had been cancelled earlier that day due to pitch conditions.
So, back to camp, and time for us to cook our first meal for ourselves. I was paired up with Kelly from Maidstone and we made a very successful and highly praised Pasta Bolognese. Scrumptious.
Up to date!
And there I am, all up to date. I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep with my newly purchased pillow, no 12 lane highway... Oh, but there are Raccoons and Bears to worry about.
Goodnight.
