Rain, and Hail and Howling Winds...

they did stay this courier...

we pulled out early enough and seemed to have survived the tornado watch overnight in Hot Springs... the sun was shining, so we headed out.

After a little while on the road, we pulled over at a Harley Store and to have lunch. By the time we got outside again, it looked ominous.

We drove on, but were fighting a firehose within a few miles... after risking it for a while, we pulled off to call Steve and Judy, our National Weather service, who said it looked pretty bad, just about where we were.

So, we headed into a Motel 6 here in Jackson, TN, and waited out the storm. There were indeed Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm watches, so we made the best of it. That meant hanging out in a room that smells like a strawberry douche, and watching TV, and sleeping. We did take a dinner trip to the convenience store across the street for some Baskin Robbins a nd Coronas.

Now we are up and ready to go, but have a longer drive even. We've set our sights on a midday stop at Mammoth Cave, KY. Then, onward to around Cincinnati, OH to spend the night. That puts us about a half day's drive to home on Monday.

Since this is the first real weather conundrum we've hit, we can't complain...

Gotta dash, we'll try to hit you later. Thanks to Ball o' Confusion for checking in and all of our faithful viewers. Later
