2023 Estelline Trip

Never would expect that from a Goodyear tire. Chinese tire yes but not a Goodyear. My trailer tires are now 2.5 years old. The Michelins on my truck are older than that. Safe travels home

76 this morning in Eureka, MO .... today we are scheduled to move 296 miles east to Clarksville, TN .... per Google Maps only one section with road construction .... they say 4 hrs 45 min drive .... no fuel stop today, do anticipate at least one rest stop .... it should be around 96 degrees with very high humidity when we get there .... no desire to get on the road until well after 9AM so as to miss much of the St Louis morning rush traffic

76 this morning where we are camped near Clarksville, TN ..... by the time we hope to arrive in Asheville, NC this afternoon they say the temp should be 89 (RealFeel 98) with thunderstorms around .... Per Google Maps 5 hr 19 min, 353 miles .... we do plan a fuel stop just east of Knoxville, TN .... today's drive requires climbing the western side of the Blue Ridge mountains ....

Sure don’t envy your temps and humidity. Woke up here to 51.

today's drive from Clarksville, TN to Asheville, NC went well .... 1 fuel stop .... 3 rain showers, one of which was while I was pumping fuel .. .. I-40 from Nashville to Asheville is still the best of all the interstates we traveled .... first thing tomorrow morning we plan to go to the Asheville Farmer's Market and pickup a bushel of White Half Runner Green Beans to can when we get home ....

Sounds like a stop at the Moose is in order Jim!
I'm up at the cabin, or I might have imposed myself on Ya'll.
Continued safe travels to you both.

as trip to Moose sure sounds good and we almost went there .... problem was, at meal times their parking lot is packed and my truck doesn't lend itself to winding through tightly packed vehicles

Oh...forgot about that. Oh well, I know you can prepare an awesome breakfast to rival the Moose.

up and at'um getting ready for what is scheduled to be our last day's drive for this trip .... 69 degrees this morning in Asheville, haven't seen a morning temp that low for a while .... once again we will be driving into a heat wave .... the forecast calls for the heat wave to continue through Sunday .... after that no more 90's to be seen .... first up picking up a bushel of green beans at the Asheville farmer's market .... next stopping by a local BoJangles .... really looking forward to that
