3rd Career --- Long Distance Truck Driver!

Well the Rowan's hit the road about 2:30 Saturday afternoon and rolled in Louisville, Kentucky about 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning! What a drive. It was pretty smooth all the way up until we hit Franklin, and then it poured like buckets rained for the next 2 1/2 hours!

I really do like driving at night when everyone is asleep! It is so neat to drive along and see the lights of distance towns come into clear focus. However, has anyone ever driven the stretch of 65 North from Nashville into Louisville? Well, just for the record, it was my first time, and let me just tell you about that pleasant ride! First of all, the rain probably did not help, nor the 1 1/2 hour dead stop delay while we waited for the accident to be cleared just South of Bowling Green- that's when the fun begin! If you have ever seen the movie Deliverance this ride was like Deliverance Road Style! I mean really the amount of really dark black narrow stretch of bad roads was UNBELIEVABLE! Had I been by myself, I probably would have really been Scared! Not to mention every trucker had to be on that road last night doing about 90mph! And, the scenery was Adult book stores / video stores with signs reflecting "Hell is Real" on either side!

I'm telling you, quite the drive! Just for laughs, I would say from mile marker 28 through about 86 is a rough go at night! We made it though and drove into the Galt House about 4:30!

Today was rough to say the least. Derek's dad passed about 6:00pm Saturday evening and today was spent at the hospital / funeral home attempting to make arrangements!

We are in a really neat area in downtown Louisville, so I will post some cool pics later!
