Coast 2 Coast
Today is a landmark in our travels. It is the day in which we finally spanned the coasts of America. If Virginia is for lovers then it was meant for us.

Benham School House Inn
It seems that we never truly leave school. For all the diplomas collected and a deep disinterest in teaching, still, I find myself in school. Well, at least, I'm staying in an Inn that was converted from a school house.
The Original Recipe
Call it serendipity. Call it fate. We call it lunch. Today, while driving through Kentucky, we saw signs for the home of the original Kentucky Fried Chicken and its accompanying museum. Food and a museum in one place? Excellent!
WWE-eeeeeee!
As an individual with genteel sensibilities, I am not usually accustomed to stand idly by while people beat each other up. That being said, I guess it's less of a matter for concern when people pretend to slam opponents on their backs. So, in the interest of partaking in the cultural events of this region, we attended WWE Summer Slam in Nashville, TN.
Explosions!
In continuation of our disaster theme: backyards exploded. People ran into the streets to stare. It was another, 4th of July in Tennessee.
Disaster Strikes
Driving a car that is over 30 years old almost guarantees that something is going to go wrong.
This Is More Like It
Finally, a day that is not completely on the road. After front loading a large amount of our travels yesterday, we enjoy a light travel day from Columbia to St. Louis.
Going With The Wind
Look, earthquakes I grew up with. I get that. Even hurricanes I've learned to live with. But tornados? Thats something different that I do not understand. I think they have sharks in them and they take you to Oz?
Cowboys and Engines
Day 2 in Wyoming was just a continuation of delightful traveling from Rock Springs, on down highway 80. There continued to be new and exciting rock formations interspersed with grazing cows. For all the boot shops and references to cowboys, Wyoming can be quite refined.
Wyoming, From Highway 80
WE LOVE WYOMING. This has been (aside from highway 1) our favorite stretch to ride. Rock formations flank highway 80, making scenery watching of greater interest than getting from point A to point B. Also in Wyoming's favor is that it isn't as mind meltingly hot as California, Nevada, and Utah. Still, we were in a rush. We stayed in Rock Springs for little other reason than we were too tired to make it to Lincoln.
