Drive to Georgia

Since our good friends Joe & Janet were going to be in Albany, GA visiting mutual friends, Drew & Frances, we decided to do a marathon (well, for us) drive from Indianapolis to Albany in order to surprise Joe & Janet. We left Indy around 10AM on Thursday AM, and wisked through the rest of Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and most of Georgia, arriving around 8AM on Friday morning. Since we only have one driver (I know, it’s about time I got behind the wheel), I thought we did pretty good covering that much ground that quickly.
Here are some photos and thoughts about the trip.
The Indiana sky…beautiful sunsets are everywhere!

Kentucky is WAY TOO beautiful (and with too many interesting spots) to just drive through. THis is a definate return trip!

NEVER NEVER NEVER attempt to drive through Nashville, TN at 5PM – (and you can’t even see Nashville yet!)

Mostly I learned that there are interesting things to discover along the way – especially from the front seat of an RV!

Road Pictures

I’m starting to collect “on the road” photos – just a couple of front seat pictures that show the difference in the areas that we are traveling. (If nothing else, it will show whether or not my plant grows!)

This is from one of our first legs – heading to New England-

Here we are in Vermont, headed to Burlington…..

And here we are in Ohio…..

Lake Erie

Our stop at Presque Isle State Park was fun! I had never been to Lake Erie (or generally that side of the state!), so I was impressed with the area in general. I’m beginning to understand why these lakes are called the Great Lakes!

And here are a bunch of confused seagulls…..

Crossing to Canada –

We crossed into Canada over the Thousand Island Bridge. The views going over that (very) high bridge are impressive – even on a gray day.
Here it is looking out of my window –

And here it is looking out of Gary’s – mind you, he’s keeping his eyes on the road!

Helpful Signs

Just as aside (amongst all this travel talk) –
I think this must be a contender for the world’s largest NO SMOKING sign. – Do you think it impacts the folks on the shoreline?

And I really appreciate the signs that not only help identify an area, but go on to offer helpful suggestions…
