One Very Hot Day

It may be steaming hot outside, but, when you get the chance to take off on your Harley - you just have to go!! 

And believe me, it sure is HOT in Kentucky and Tennessee!

For this trip, we headed down to Tennessee.  I just love riding the TN roads which have been cut out of the hills.  Such as the picture below.

We headed south toward the TN/AL border.  Our friends, Gary and Donna led the way toward Fayetteville, Petersburg and Kelso TN.  Donna's family originated from this area.  

 

The hills and valleys were breath-taking and lush with every shade of green. 

This train station is about all that is left of Kelso TN.

Petersburg TN - once a thriving town square, is now
hardly more than old buildings decaying in the hot sun.

Petersburg TN is a very old community.

 This area of the state seems to be mostly farming.  Which means more barn pictures!

GREEN as far as the eye can see! 

Our day began at 7:30am with a temperature of 77 degrees. We arrived home around 9:00pm and the temp was 82 degrees.  In between we hit temps as high as 101 degrees or more.  We added another 459 miles on our odometer.  Very hot and totally exhausted it was shower and veg for the remainder of the evening.
