Leaving East Tenn. Wed. Morning for Spyderfest

[StanProff]

Can't go on Tuesday. Anyone is welcome to Join up along the way. I will be leaving from the Johnson city/ Greeneville area along with a friend on his two wheeler, Wednesday morning. Departing about 8 a.m. Be going through west Knoxville around 10 (gas stop). Then heading towards Nashville. We are not going to do the full 700 plus miles Wednesday, 4 or 5 hundred and grab a motel and go on in thursday morning to Pitbull. If you see the Blue RT, in the pic below and a two wheeler, booking it down I 40 and up to I 24 and going across state route 60, that's us. Looking forward to meeting many of you at Spyderfest (my first). Yep! I'm excited :yes:

Did the I24 and SR60 today. Was shocked that all but first few miles out of Padukah on SR60 is divided hi way. Much better road than we expected. We beat the GPS estimated time by over an hour on that segment. :yes:

Paducah is only 40 mile from me.. Hwy 60 from Kentucky Oak Mall on into Ballard Co. was redone a few years ago.. Most if not all of Hwy 60 will be 4 lane...

with terrible congestion .. especially this coming week.. international quilter's week in Paducah.. I avoid hwy 60 in that area ALL the time.. nutcases prevail .. i suggest old cairo road will get you to the same place.. longer by a few miles but better roads.. wickliffe to cairo .......mississippi bridge.. work going on .. somewhat a delay..

everyone have fun
