Dashing out of my home state, pedal to the metal, I forgot that the Heart of Dixie has one of the best roadside attractions in the country: a genuine Saturn 5 rocket. The perfect symbol for the first day of our road trip. Snapped this quick picture with my iPhone as I zoomed by with my own rocket tailfins.
First stop: Lynchburg
I was tempted to fill up with Jack Daniels here in the whiskey’s hometown, but opted instead for 14 gallons of premium unleaded. I’ve traveled 133 miles so far without a hitch. Okay, maybe one hitch. The driver’s window has decided it likes being in the down position.
