Tennessee River Rolling On

The Tennessee River flowing out of Kentucky Lake and dam rolling on to its meeting place with the Ohio. That water will be in New Orleans inside of 90 days. Posted by Steve Pollock on Monday, August 8, 2016

Thinking Big

Lying on the bed looking out. Thinking Nashville needs one of them things. Maybe a 700-foot gee-tar? Or an obelisk made of records and people's broken dreams? Posted by Steve Pollock on Sunday, August 7, 2016

Mark? Twain!

Are they on a three-hour tour? Will they get shipwrecked in Illinois? Am I feeling all Mark Twain-y and wanting to pilot a riverboat up to Hannibal? Posted by Steve Pollock on Sunday, August 7, 2016

Whoa.

Feel guilty about treating myself, but Hyatt gave me an eighth floor corner room with windows on two sides. Maybe I'll just stay here. Posted by Steve Pollock on Sunday, August 7, 2016 [Best part: Our credit card travel miles made it a free stay. Woot.]

Seeing Things

Frank didn't tell me he's running for governor of Missouri. I might be like Bill Clinton, First Gentleman of Missouri! (I think this road trip is making me a little loopy.) Posted by Steve Pollock on Sunday, August 7, 2016

Finally, some excitement! A train! (US 36 in northern Missouri is great and immensely less stressful thab the hellish I70 bryween KC and Stl… at the price of great boredom.) Posted by Steve Pollock on Sunday, August 7, 2016
