Hazel, VA to Cookeville, TN (Day 3)


After a good night's sleep we packed our gear,

 had a hearty breakfast,

Eggs Florentine at Holiday Inn, Hazel, VA.


 then hit the road for Tennessee.

Riding into headwinds, and the type that pushes and pulls when you overtake these 18 wheelers.

I had imagined Tennessee to be the type of place where we might come across some trouble for not being Caucasian. My ignorance created images of Mississippi Burning and alternative sects of the KKK setting our bikes on fire, it was far from it. To my delight, it was quite comfortable, in fact the Manager of the Best Western Motel was Mr. Patel, Indian I believe. This place was surrounded by all the fast food joints you can imagine, so if you are a fan like Alan is, yo'll be on cloud nine. We dropped of Alan’s bike down the road for its first service, and since we were too tired and hungry to track down the best place for barbecued spare ribs, we had a huge slab of porterhouse steak at Long Horn.
