I will try my hardest not to duplicate anything that Kari has already said....if I do, I apologize!

We made it to Kentucky and realized, WOW, what a beautiful state. I never imagined it to be the luscious green rolling hills that it was. We met possibly the one of the sweetest women ever at our campground...Theresa!

Meandering our way down to North Carolina through eastern Tennessee was breathtaking. And as Kari already mentioned, we met our knights and shining armors on the borders of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. We were pumping gas and one of the gentlemen started talking to me. He seemed upright and respectable so I was not alarmed! Into our conversation he has asked us (more to Kari) if we were "carrying"? HMMMM?? I was a bit confused. I thought he was asking Kari if she was pregnant and thought that to be a bit of a personal question and was about to wrap my hands around his neck for being so RUDE! Well....he helped to clarify the situation and opened his car door to show us the handgun he had sitting in the door...he told us we must be carrying a gun in this part of the woods...especially where we were headed to...hence, our knoght and shining armor. He redirected our route to a much more safer route and we were much appreciative!

Haning out with Sam and his family was great! Homemade food to die for and I think my Spanish improved by points! Stay tuned!

    Hi guys.. glad to hear you have a few angels on your side whilst travelling through the "wild frontier" :P

    Seeing as I am not at all familiar with any of the places you're passing through I was wondering if you could post up a map of your travails?

    I found you a link that might help.

  2. Hi Girls!
    It's Amy.. home in the Crapskills.. Sounds like the trip is going great. We are ready to take out our row boats here. the rain rain won't go away and come back another day like maybe in another month or 2 would be just fine!!!
    Today we actually have some sun which is great and feels great.
    Can you give me an idea of your intended destinations so I can ask someone who has been around the globe if he recommends a "not to miss " spot along the way.
    Thinking of you and your smiles.
    x.x.x.
    Amy
