Tennessee Trip Day 3

Day3

Sept 10, 2010

265 miles

No rain whenwe got up, on the road at 8 for a 15 mile ride to Lynchburg, TN. There we parked at the Jack Daniels Distilery to take the tour. No drinking, its a dry county.
The tour was quite interesting, takes about an hour.

This is one of 4 Jack Daniels motorcycles, a Heritage Softail.

We ate lunch at the famous Miss Mary Bobo's boarding house. Amazing, genuine southern cooking! Walked around the town for a while, the town is just a giant gift shop--whisky and tourists are the main industry. Was very peaceful place, I'd recommend stopping.

Left at 1pm to ride the 260 miles to Memphis. The sun was shing, temp was great, it was a fabulous day for a ride in the TN countryside! Well, that lasted 50 miles, then the rain started, we doned our rain gear, and rode in rain off and on for the rest of the day. Some rain was pretty darn heavy, too. Had some things to lay around the motel room to dry. We are at the Downtown Mariott where they have valet parking, but they let us park our own bikes. Ate a very late supper at the hotel. Beds were really great, slept in the next morning.
