We continued to Memphis and this morning, went to Graceland and Sun records. Great places to visit. I have pictures to share of our Graceland tour, maybe t can encourage some of you to go r if you can't go, atleast have an idea of what you can see there. Good place to visit with family.
Yesterday, we drove from Indiana to Memphis, TN. Long drive. Passed through Tennessee and stopped at the Grand Ole Opry.
Getting into Nashville, there was a one hour construction delay.
We drove to Fort Knox, where we saw the Gold vault and the army base and also General Patton's museum.
Our national gold reserve is stored deep down in the ground, under this building. This gold vault is right next to the military base in Fort Knox so it has some real protection.
Spending the night today at a B&B (Bed and Breakfast). Looking forward to our drive tomorrow to Fort Knox and then to Nashville, TN.
Woke up yesterday and had a nice breakfast at the BB with some other families who spent the night. Our host was a friendly guy and the food was simple and...
After 2 hours of tour and good history lectures, we saw light again and it was time to make our ascend back to the park. As we got out of the park, we suddenly got into 83F of heat and realized we preferred the cold 54F we were complaining about when we started the tour. The caves stay quiet...
Random pics inside the cave;
Writings on the wall from the 1800s
Bottomless pit
Fat Man's Misery (A section of the cave where if you are basically fat, you will suffer getting through. We had to go through it and the heavy set people had a tough time going through. But we all made it. Nobody...
Next stop, Mammoth Cave National Park. All I can say is WOW!!! This is a must-see attraction. Our tour was a 2 hour long tour inside the cave that has a constant temperature of 54F.
This place has a great story that debuts from 1812. From what I learned on my tour, this cave was owned by a...
Done eating and we got on the freeway. On I-75. The road was busy. Speed limit 70mph, but everybody was doing 80mph. Then all of a sudden traffic slows down to 60mph and we started wondering why. Took a little bit, then we see this convoy of military people driving. we wondered where they were...
Got on the road, but we were hungry. So drove for 15 minutes and got tot Pigeon Forge where we had breakfast at the Old Mill restaurant. If you are in the area, please, go there to eat. If you do not enjoy your food, PM me and I will refund your money back!!! I am kidding. But the food here is...
Drove today from Gatlinburg, TN to Mammoth Cave, KY. Great drive, as usual.
Before we left Gatlinburg, took a pic from our hotel room; Park Vista doubletree.
Then took a last shot of the hotel just before we drove off.
We really enjoyed our time at Disney.
I have been using my GoPro. I have about 6 hours to 8 hours of driving videos already. My best so far is my drive to TN with this lady in her Mercedes Benz racing me. She drives like a pro. I mean, taking curves like a racing car driver. I enjoy watching...
After our very busy day and a total drive time of about 5 hours, we decided to go park the Armada and decided to take the local trolley to commute around town. It was a nice adventure.
Forgot to share these pics of star cars that they used in these respective movies.
Nicolas Cage's car in...
From the tail of the dragon, we took another very curvy road to the Cherokee Indian Museum, in Cherokee, NC. Another must destination for people visiting the area. You will not be disappointed. We learned a lot about these people.
After Cades Cove Scenic drive, it was time to head to the tail of the dragon. I took a back road that had a sign that said only 4wd vehicles with high clearance should get on the road. I took a chance to get on the road and it was a fun ride. It was a little challenging, but a fun ride on the 9...
Today was a very busy day. Started off by driving the always curvy roads of the Smoky mountains heading for Cades Cove. These drives in the Smoky mountain is a must-do for anybody planning to visit the smokies. It is a very fun and scenic drive. You will not be disappointed.
Went on the Cades...
