Nashville and the Smokies
We arrived on a wet evening in Nashville, lodging at a motel just outside of town in the rain. Undeterred, we set off into town to get some barbeque and watch the election results come in. Tennessee went early to Romney, but at least we got some blues and some nice beers to see in Obama.

The trip out of D.C. was pretty easy, and we stopped at Luray Caverns to break up the day. The cave was pretty amazing, but hard to compete with the guide we had at Jewel Caves in South Dakota. Still, very cool sights. It's going to be a fun weekend ...
