After leaving Lexington Kentucky, we decide to follow old highway 25E which we had taken 40 some years ago on our way south. The area in Tennessee particularly was beautiful as we remembered it with lots of hills and rocky faces along side the road. There were a few nice overlooks that we recalled as really something. The picture below is where on of those overlooks was taken of the coach. We are quite pleased with this new coach....it has lots of liveable space and is a pleasure to drive even when pulling the pickup behind.
This picture and the one below were taken at the overlook at a place called Bean Station where Daniel Boone followed Cherokee Indians trails to the Cumberland Gap. Davy Crockett also followed these same trails. Bean Station today is still a relatively unpopulated area but certainly has some beautiful vistas.
One obstacle we ran into on the back roads was a great deal of construction. We ran across one problem where a roller literally rolled down the hillside holding up traffic for about an hour while they moved it out of the way using backhoes and a payloader.
We are in Florence, South Carolina for two days to visit with friends and then we head down the East coast again on a back road....Highway 17 when possible with some stops in Charleston and Savannah.
