Weather: low 72 degrees, high 86 degrees, partly cloudy skies
Late this afternoon, a Texas-type rainstorm passed through this area. A real gully washer, a frog strangler.... I haven't seen it rain this hard in quite some time. A flash flood watch has been posted for the area. This would not have been good weather to be traveling in. It looks like it will continue raining until well into the morning.
We had discussed going out to eat tonight, but the bad weather convinced us we should stay at home. The hot dogs we had instead were pretty good. It's nice to have food for a fallback.
We've been fairly busy the last few days, so we decided to take it easy today. Having said that, we still took a ride over to Maynardville, whose main claim to fame is that Roy Acuff and Carl Perkins, legendary country music performers, were born there. Chet Atkins and Kenny Chesney were born just down the road in the little town of Luttrell. Obviously, the area has been a cradle for the development of outstanding talent. Unfortunately, there's not much else to draw us to that area.We're starting to discuss where we will be going next. East or north? It'll probably be one of those decisions where we just pick a direction and go. Maybe when we get down the road an hour or two, we'll find what we're looking for.
More later, be safe.
