In the south

Woohoo, I have started on my "tour". After 3 days of driving, I made it to Myrtle Beach, SC on sunday (6/5/2005) by 4 pm. I had an uneventful drive through the midwest and south. I did enjoy the hills and thick forests of eastern tennessee and the Ashville area of NC. It has been real hot here, the steamy humid kind that one would expect from the deep south. I have been resting a bunch and drinking lots of fluids. My folks are visiting here as well so we have been catching up. I have one day to go until I head back to tennesee for the bonnaroo music festival (http://www.bonnaroo.com). Friends from work will be coming from Vail so we'll meet up and have a lot of fun. So far, I don't miss work as it seems like a week off so far, but the lack of high speed internet is starting to bother me. I found a coffee cafe with free wi-fi, but no outlets to plug your laptop into and my old beast doesn't work on a battery anymore so it was dissapointing. Oh well, dial up will do for now. No pictures yet as I have been here so many times that I don't take many pictures, but will have a bunch from bonnaroo later next week. Until then, have a good one everyone!! -Peter
