The Longest Drive
15 hours in a 5-ton. Not my idea of fun! Especially since my trip started in Florida (along Alligator Alley [http://sofia.usgs.gov/virtual_tour/alalley/] - I have never seen so many live gators in my life - very cool) and ended in the rainy Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. (Thank goodness for "overdrive" pay!!)
It is not "normal" for a tour to include a lengthy drive like this, but sometimes tour "management" decides they want to change-up the itinerary. We were supposed to go to Jacksonville yesterday, but they cancelled that show so we could get to Nashville a day early. For some reason they wanted to set-up the production equipment last night.
Tonight's sold-out concert is at Rocketown [http://www.rocketown.com/]. Michael W. Smith’s Rocketown is a 38,000 square foot facility which includes a drug and alcohol free nightclub, skate park, coffee house, cybercafe and much more. Rocketown Youth Services provides a safe haven for trouble youth with the hope of Christian mentors challenging them to be responsible moral citizens.
I am hoping to go to Rocketown tonight... just cuz I can. Hey, I'm here! Why wouldn't I go check it out?! Besides... I need to do something fun tonight before I drive through more of the Appalachians on my way to Virginia! [http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/nalnd.htm]
