Bringing home baby

Our 1998 Seaward Fox Carbon Fibre Cat Rig!
A trip from Arkansas to North Carolina is not a short one, especially if you are returning in the same weekend! Don't let the 9 hours listed on the GPS fool you...it's always more!

We left at midnight Thursday night and took turns sleeping in the back of our Ford Flex where we had made a palate. Everything was on schedule and we arrived in Knoxville just as planned. Had a nice breakfast then went shopping for needed items at West Marine.

Now is when the trip gets interesting. GPS is a great thing for cities but when you are in the middle of nowhere in the Appalachian mountains it might think someone's driveway is a road and it had no idea a major road was out due to flooding. We went a couple of hours out of the way but finally arrived about 3 pm on Friday. Not counting our 2 hour stop in Knoxville that makes about 12 hours drive time. And we still have 4 hours back to our planned hotel in Dandridge, TN... IN THE RAIN (wait for it) DOWN A MOUNTAIN (wait again...) WITH A SAILBOAT IN TOW! AHHH :D


We were so scared through all of that, we forgot to photograph any of it! :( But we did get some shots as we left Knoxville and drove through Nashville in MORE RAIN!! ugh.
