	Then you definitely don't want to cross through Deals Gap...   Something like 318 turns 
in 11 miles.   ;-)
	I have driven from NC to TN a couple of times on I-40 and I didn't think it was that 
bad. If I was not pulling a trailer or was just pulling a small one I would likely just 
cut through the mountains on the main road (I forget its number) through the National 
Park and relax and enjoy the trip. It is usually only bad on fall weekends. I don't 
really care that much for trips where my goal is to get from point A to point B quickly. 
I like to mosey and wander around back roads a little. On the trip we made to see Bob 
Seith north east of Columbus OH we took a "short cut" home through Florence KY and spent 
the night there...   :-)
	Sadly the trip we are making to southern KY this week will maybe be a hurry trip. I'm 
having a hard time leaving the farm these days, my mother's mind is not doing well and 
she has panic attacks when I leave the farm especially if it is any distance away. 
Columbus IN is the next county seat town south of here and on my last KY trip I told her 
I was going to a tractor show "south of Columbus". I just didn't say how far south...   :-
