We left Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at about 8:15 am to head for the Saint Louis area, Fenton to be exact. This is where Jim's brother, Dean, lives.
This road scene is on I-75 North from Adairsville & near Resaca, Georgia, where a Civil War battle took place.
This mountain scenes is on I-75 coming into the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. This part of Georgia/Tennessee is really beautiful.
Before entering Chattanooga, we take I-24 West toward Paducah, Kentucky.
This is an incredible view on I-24 West from Chattanooga as we travel around a curve with the Tennessee River on the right.
Here you can really see the size of the river as we go around the curve. Note the trucks on the otherside coming toward us. They are really small because of the distance. (Excuse the refelection frorm the window!)
More Views of I-24 West out of Chattanooga & the Tennessee River
This is interesting...The Interstate splits here to go around the mountain, with the West bound on the right & the East bound lanes on the left.
After splitting, the Interstate goes up a big mountain. Here the truck is in the slow lane. See the rock wall that they had to blast through for the road.
Another shot of the same mountain climb.
Well, we finally join the East Bound Interstate and head down the mountain with a 45 mph sharp turn. The downhill grade is 5 %.
This Jefferson Davis Monument is near Pembroke, Tn at exit 89, going West. This is for all the Rebels in the crowd! :-)
This is an old Kentucky Barn near Mile 81 on I-24, near Hopkinsville, Ky.
This is a more typical Kentucky barn. They seem to be mostly stained grey or they weather that way. This was between mile 81 & mile 61 on I-24 West.
Don't you love these old Kentucky barns?
This one is about to disappear! It has character!
This cool one was red at one time. Another of the Kentucky barns! This one is near Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky.
The last barn for this session, I promise! Someday these photos will be valuable, when all these barns are gone.
Here we are about to crosss the Mighty Mississippi River on I-255 from Illinois, around to the south end of St Louis.
Here is the Might Mississippi River from the bridge. You can not really see the scale of this river, but ...oh well. We arrived in Fenton about 5:30 Central Standard Time. We had dinner & toured one of Dean's projects, a new kitchen make-over for his daughter, Cindi's house. It was a major remodel and they all did a fine job! Cindi did a lot of the work along with her father & brother, Tim.
