Lynchburg

Day 55

A short walk from the hotel is the Jack Daniel’s Distillery so we booked a “dry” tour (ever the driver) for 10:25, and popped back to the hotel to pack the car.

I’ve always assume that Jack Daniel wouldn’t have liked the thought of people mixing his drink with Coke, but apparently he used to mix it with things too.

The charcoal that’s used to filter the whiskey is made on site too, and the fuel to light the fire is… whiskey. All Jack Daniels is made in Lynchburg.

A short couple of hours drive and we’re across the border into Alabama, out 25th State.

On the Interstate as we drove through Huntsville we saw the large Space Rockets at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. One of which, the Saturn 1B rocket, has been there for forty years but is in a state of repair and it’s reported that it may have to come down. (Photo by Jane out of the driver’s window as we flew past.)

Day 54

First stop, Nashville, Tennessee. A walk around, before heading to…

….the Capitol Building.

A coffee in Eagleville (and a postcard posted) then on to Lynchburg for the evening, ahead of the tour of the Jack Daniel’s distillery in the morning.

Lynchburg specifically, and Tennessee generally seems quite fond of Trump, and this is a dry county so you can’t even call it a drunken mistake.

Again we couldn’t toast with Jack Daniels as being a dry count you can’t buy alcohol (well, except expensive vintage stuff because that’s categorised in some other way.)

Half of the the States done.
