Day One: Virginia Beach to Crossville, TN
I finally got on the road around 8:30, having taken a detour to stop at Dunkin Donuts (one of two in Virginia Beach). Traffic was a little heavy heading into Norfolk, but it thinned out quickly. The weather was ideal for driving, and the stretch from Norfolk to Richmond was particularly scenic, with a light misting rain, and a pale green mist of new leaves on the trees lining the road, interspersed with flowering purple trees, and at one point, a massive lilac bush.
I stopped at a rest area just east of Lexington, VA for lunch, and climbed up a hill past the "official use only" signs to take a picture.Traffic was very light everywhere except Knoxville, which I can (barely) forgive because it was rush hour. I almost ran out of gas in Knoxville, but managed to avert that crisis, although it was a narrow thing, especially when the first gas station I saw was out of commission, with all the pumps wrapped in yellow caution tape.
Some statistics from today's trip:
605 miles
Two states
Two time zones
Zero accidents
One roadside attraction - Foamhenge, in Natural Bridge, VA. It's like Stonehenge, only foam. I don't have a picture because I didn't get out of the car.
