Monday, August 22
Another hot day on the road, but we are leaving early again to beat the heat, and so far this strategy is working. We are traveling Northeast on US79 to Paris, TN and onto Clarksville, TN.
Enroute in Brownsville, TN, we stopped for Gas, but found what looked like an electrical sub-station from a distance. In closer inspection someone with a lot of steel and time built this "art item", I am not sure what it is, but here is the photo.
Brownsville, TN on US73
Clarksville, TN has one of the largest US Army bases in the country, called Fort Campbell which is on the Tennessee Kentucky border, and this place is huge, US79 follows the fence for miles, and there are a lot of solders in uniform shopping in the stores etc. Fort Campbell is home of the 101st Airborne Division [http://www.campbell.army.mil/units/101st/Pages/default.aspx] it is this division that took out Bin Laden, so I am told, they built and 1:1 replica of the compound on the base and trained for several months before the raid.
Continuing on to Bowling Green (where GM makes the Corvette) and onto Cave City, KY.
Cave City will be the jumping off point to explore Mammoth Caves National Park on Tuesday.
