I'm headed to Peachtree City, GA for a show. I've driven down I-24 this way several times before, but today may be the prettiest drive I remember. The leaves are just starting to change. It's hard to find more natural beauty than middle and southeastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. Gorgeous. The drive across Nickajack Lake never fails to bring a sense of awe of the beauty here.
I spend the night at the Hampton Inn just outside of Peachtree City. The beds are especially nice at Hampton Inns, making for a good night's sleep. I wake up to a nice sunrise and get a few hours work done while I have this quiet time.
I was going to gas up last night, but I couldn't find a single station anywhere that had gasoline. I start driving back and hope that I'll find a gas station along the way. I drive all the way to Calhoun, GA, stop for a Five Guys Burgers and Fries lunch and a tea from Starbucks and figure there should be gas here. Still nothing! I drive all the way to Manchester, TN before finding fuel. Crazy.
What an enjoyable drive this weekend - to enjoy this beauty, listen to music, think. Time well spent.
