Last Night on the Road

                                              In the barrell room with our tour guide, Eddie.
                                                        The distillery that we visited.

                                                   Lots of used barrells.
                                                          The open for business sign.
                                                            More scenes inside.
          The truck in the parking lot. You can see that it is a lot bigger than the one on television!
                                     The front of the museum. It was an old car factory.
                                                                    Tom's first flat tire.
                     The road next to the George Dickel distillery. It was very isolated.

Celebrating Teri's birthday.

We arrived in Nashville in time for the Antique Archeology (Pickers Warehouse) toopen. it was interesting and some things are for sale but they are pricey. a man wandered by who is a photographer. We asked him for directions to get out of Nashville, using surface streets. He struggled to figure out a route and finally said to follow him. That worked. Our next stop was the George Dickel Distillery. It is a small distillery. we had a very hospitable tour guide. it is a beautiful drive into the remote area. I think everyone was a little disappointed that they were not giving samples of the whiskey. (I am not spelling whiskey wrong. That is the Scottish spelling.) When Betty was asked if she would do another tour, she didn't hesitate to say "Yes!" So I guess the question is when. As for favorites, Tom & Betty, liked Copper Harbor, MI for the location. ray liked meeting the guy who owned the Twenty Millionth Ford. he was a regular guy. I think I liked Mackinaw City the best. I loved the view of Mackinaw bridge from our hotel room! We ate at Logan's Roadhouse tonight. Betty announced to our server that it was my birthday and I needed to be embarrassed. They did their job. They announced to the entire restaurant that it was my birthday. The entire restaurant gave me a "Hee-haw!" Ray, Teri, Tom, & Betty PS I was not able to load the pics tonight. You will get them ASAP!
