asheville to clarksville
made it to melanie’s house around 7:20pm tonight, cst. took about 5 hours from asheville, and i crossed a time zone, which was kind of weird to do in a car. total miles traveled today: in the neighborhood of 560. miles to go: a little over 3000. i’m 15% of the way there!
met their puppy gus who is a master fetcher, then did a quick driving tour through downtown clarksville. said hi to pj who was out playing softball. came back to partake of some lovely bbq left over from a recent party. played more fetch with gus.
at which point we all admitted we were completely exhausted. but before hitting the sack, here’s my rough itinerary for the rest of the trip.
