... apparently Ohio is, so keep that in mind) so door knocking is not the thing to do but fortunately our campground had Trick-or-Treating on the grounds and let us join in, woot, woot. Basically you trudge around in costumes and asks strangers for candy, it's a great way to meet new people, especially when all the other Trick-or-Treaters are under 4ft, and we scored a bag load of candy. Sweet!

Back to being human again, we headed off to the 'Hermitage ...

... in the morning.

As I'm not much of a late sleeper, I woke up this morning and headed out into Centennial Park to scope it all out. I learned a few things about Nashville from the signs along the mile loop in the park.

It was a fantastic ride as we left all of our gear at the house and after almost 1500 km's of super slab highway we had twisties! My spirits are high and we are having a great time. Our plan is to ride the Natchez trace trail tomorrow down into Jacksonville.

A signed Johnny Cash guitar etc. was just one piece of memorabilia on the walls. We enjoyed a good lunch and the good music and then had to leave to get back to our hotel for the tour pick-up. The tour got off to a good start .... we headed to Opry Mills. Dad noticed straight away that we had been here the ...

How to pack for such a trip? What about Choir ris**s, sound and lighting gear, kettle drums, an organ, a harp, celli, double basses, conc**t clothing, and the p**sonal luggage for 574 minstrels. Well, it takes:

• 3 airplanes
  
• 11 buses
  
• 2 semi trucks
  
• 4 luggage trucks
